poet. a person who composes poetry.
poet. a person who has the gift of poetic thought, imagination and creation, together with eloquence of expression.
hmm. by this definition i guess i'm a poet. but i don't feel like one. my voice doesn't go up and down when i speak the words into the atmosphere. and i don't have a feather for a pen either. although that would be really cool. i don't think there's an accurate word for what i do or what i've done. this is just the chronological order of my experiences and sometimes not even that. though i rarely write with the intent to perform, if ever, the word 'poet' yet and still makes me uneasy. it comes with expectations that a) i don't care about fulfilling and b) whose definition is not stable enough to cater to the unstable which is what creativity is all about anyway. i'm just saying, words belong on pages, not in boxes.
