Poet and Writer

by Everlasting   Sep 17, 2016


A writer
pens a book
with his thoughts

and poets
pen a book
with feelings

but poets
are writers
penning books

and writers
are poets
penning books

so writers
plus poets
pen feelings

and poets
and writers
pen their thoughts

so poets
and writers
are the same?

or writers
and poets
just differ?

    Hello there,

    Sir Ben was right. He said it already.Poet is synonymous of a writer or an author. Poet can be called author or writer as well but a writer of a book or an article Can not be called a poet. ..Ahh you got me too.lol

    Hello Lucero,

    I think the answer to your question comes from within the piece itself: this is a thoughtful and philosophical sort of poem whereas so much of what you write is emotive, so certainly poets are writers too.

    Are writers poets? Not necessarily from a technical point, I suppose, but all the best writers - be them poets or not - write with feeling and thought. That's my opinion, anyhow.

    Well done...it got me thinking!

    Ben
