A Poet

A poet is an uncontrollable force,
His (or her) pen always on a fluent course
A whispering stream, a flowing brook,
Their words always a captivating hook

A poets skill is an art,
Forever speaking to the heart.
Thoughts swirling like water in a bowl,
And each word, each thought, apart of  their soul.

A poet is a free spirit,
Never with a limit.
Weaving between life and death, love and hate,
Always trying to decide its fate.

A poet has a resonant tongue,
The words being far-flung.
Never-ever giving pause,
And waiting for a thundering applause.

A poet is a creator of life,
Human, animal, and all wildlife.
A wide ranging voice,
Forever giving choice.
