What is a poet?

 

By definition an poet is someone who writes poetry or someone who has the gift of poetic thought according to dictionary.com but is this really all that makes up a poet. Does this mean that anyone who takes out a pen and scribble senseless words on paper a poet. The title poet has been misused. It takes more then just writing words and thoughts. A true poet writes from the heart; words flow out like a stream. Creativity doesn’t have to be thought of; it circles the hand and flows from the pen of a true poet. Are you a true poet? Are your words a river of creative expression?
