Ruler of the world simply on the grounds that he/she speaks in a form that is ellegant, and must understand that poetry was spoken before it was ever written.
im a poet. unlike prosewriters when i form my sentences it doesnt make any coherent sense but it sounds fuckin cool anyway.
By Colette
Poet
A person who writes poetry. The archaic term for a female poet is "poetess", but due to some feminists concidering the term sexist, "poetess" isn't used much now.
Also known as a bard (straight from the Gaelic "bàrd"), or troubador(from Latin and French), and especially known as these things in the Midieval Era.
Used to be
someone who
Wrote a lot of lines that rhymed & were otherwise
possessed of a musical quality that did not
necessarily require
strings or drums in the
background
& was altogether too smart for words
Now a poet is
just
someone who
fucks about with the length
of
lines
so as to make
the utterly
banal appear to have unplumbed depths of meaning
which I suppose
is at least moderately
more
democratic
