"What's A Poet?" (by Joe DiMino)
Whats a poet?
Pinch of Gods this
Handful of that;
Some say Im
From a bucket full,
Proof
My runny-brown-hat;
Oh! Please check your shoes
Im a bit lost today;
By the way, whats a poet?
Strange sort
Thinks hes God and the devil
At times
Works it kind-of-out
With prose and rhymes;
Makes these word-pictures,
Drench of syllables
Rich as glossy-paintstruggles for perfect English
But when brushed to corners
Relies heavily on aint;
By the way, has anyone seen my pencil?
It has lots of teeth-marks
An easer that wetly sparks
So what is a poet?
Tears
Drying
Gushes of living and dying;
Something young
While something very old;
Someone laughable
Loveable
Every family cherishes at least one
Hates theirs before done;
Poettrickster, philosopher,
No matter which
Always real
Always honest
The genuine ones
Though sometimes afraid
Always overcoming
To feel
