Ruler of the world simply on the grounds that he/she speaks in a form that is ellegant, and must understand that poetry was spoken before it was ever written.
A person who writes poetry. The archaic term for a female poet is "poetess", but due to some feminists concidering the term sexist, "poetess" isn't used much now.
Also known as a bard (straight from the Gaelic "bàrd"), or troubador(from Latin and French), and especially known as these things in the Midieval Era.
Used to be
someone who
Wrote a lot of lines that rhymed & were otherwise
possessed of a musical quality that did not
necessarily require
strings or drums in the
background
& was altogether too smart for words
Now a poet is
just
someone who
fucks about with the length
of
lines
so as to make
the utterly
banal
appear to have unplumbed depths of meaning
which I suppose
is at least moderately
more
democratic

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
