Chappell (2009)

A poet is
No matter what
Whether adored or disliked
They are what they are
Uncut

Each one of them
Unique in their own way
Some like to be obscure in their wording
Others are very clear in what they want to say

You have the shy, and reserved
The outspoken and crass
Those who have trouble writing what they want to say
And those who always grasp
Their reader's attention
Is always there
At least in the beginning
As they start to share

What they want to say.....
A poet is!
