About This Quote

The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty. The poet is a type of artist that allows the world to be seen in a different light. They are great thinkers who create a new method of communication that can change people’s lives for the better. The poet’s job is to use words in such a way that they mean more than just the literal meaning.

A poem is not meant to be read in its entirety, but rather broken up and analyzed in order to be understood fully. As such, the poet allows us to see things from a different perspective and creates new words that we never thought we could say or think before. For example, if you look at a picture of a tiger and then look at the word “tiger” in a poem, you will notice that it paints a much more vivid and detailed picture than if you had only looked at the picture.
