When you were a child what was your idea of a poet? This poem is a combination of my ideas and some fiction. This is a part of the poem. You can read the complete poem by becoming a member of my Buy Me A Coffee page.
A nine year old’s version of a poet
A poet is someone who sits in dusty rooms,
Surrounded by thick tomes on every subject,
Muttering words like corporeal, inexorable and pulchritudinous
While filling notebook after notebook with verse.
A poet is someone who lies
In the fields of lavenders and lilies,
Reading obscure Latin and Greek
And Shakespeare, Dickinson and Frost for some light reading.
