What is the definition of a poet? one who conveys all torments in their soul? who drains their mind against the adrenaline that pours forth, and beats crowds with words to convey their importance? or is it the responsibility to bare their soul to hungry ears that thirst for words that may have some sort of wisdom behind their meanings? to be inspired is inspiring. and as i look around this world i am moved to lack of words for such beauty in it. i am moved to push words of regret from my lungs by things i have yet not seen. and i am moved to write by the words that fall just so into my minds eye. and that in itself is enough for me to keep breathing. to keep walking. to keep telling my variations of stories. to keep placing myself upon this stage. to keep moving, and run with it. run with my life held preciously in my hands... and keep searching for that definition of a poet. by Senta Sargent for parts 1 through 5 of the chain- please visit The Chain at acousticspokenword.com

Nice! I like it. I'll try and get it posted on the website also. Maybe you can read it at one of the slams so we can get the audio also. So, do we have a definition of poet yet? Maybe we also need to explore what a poet or poem isn't.
