Poet

                
So what is a poem and what has it got
and who is the poet and who is not
would life be as wondrous and profound
if the poet and poem were nowhere around

Is the poet perhaps such an enigma
for he cares not for fame or stigma
sees how he pleases writes what he can
is that what we look for in such a man

Regardless he writes for what it's worth
ponders a meaning a length and a girth
we read it and wonder what he's saying
all the while it's him we're obeying

For life is a maze and we seek a way
that's how the poem helps pass the day
anyway i'm glad for the verses he writes
they let my soul soar when reality bites

So praises to the poet whoever he may be
let his mind always be creative and free
