The poet is an insufferable Whitmaniac, an optimist,
A moonbrained prat who wants to give the earth and stars a kiss.
The poet is a dark, depressed, and most oppressive soul
Whose self-esteem and mental health lie just out of control.
He writes only what he wants to, then writes it all again,.
He writes romantic missives to acquaintances and friends.
He builds taller-standing worlds with just a pen, letter by letter.
He writes what his friends wish they wrote, except it's even better.
She's a creature of balance. She craves it, he serves it.
Though she may never so much as a achieve or deserve it.
As a poet, she bound to all of life, by duty.
She need not like it all the first time, but grin the second at its beauty.
A poet's made when readers take for wisdom what he puns.
They do it for those "right reasons" -- he does it just for fun.
