POEM- WHO IS A POET ?

A

Hello guys. I hope you're all doing great.  I am so excited to get connected with you all once again. As part of the things I am so passionate about doing, poetry finds it's way to the top of the list. 

Today I will like to share a few lines with you all. 

The title of my poem is "Who is a Poet?". It is inspired by the fact that Arabs are the roots of poetry. History has in it's books some of the best poets such as Antarat Bin Shaddad who was an Arab. This poem is trying to kind of praise them for how in-depth their lines are and also for being pioneers of poetry. 

#WHO IS A POET ? 

Who is a Poet? 

He is that Arabian

Who just like a magician

Strikes with his quill like pirates of the Caribbean 

As hospitable as a Ghanaian, 

He welcomes all ideas 

 

Who is a Poet?  

He is that lad 

Who spits out saliva formed 

By the mixture of chemicals called words 

He holds in his hands, a word-like sword 

With this sword, he beheads all heads 

 

Who is a Poet?  

He is that Writer 

Whose style is extraordinary 

Whose lines are unimagined 

Whose rhyme schemes are confectionery 

Who stanzas are swiftly engined 

 

Who is a Poet? 

He is that Starlet 

Whose brain is a supermarket 

Whose heart is a booklet 

And whose tongue is a leaflet 

From all these, wisdom is sought 

Who is a Poet? 

 

Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to read this poem. 

I really appreciate the love.
