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.

A
Poet

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
Everyone's a poet ... only they just don't know it.
