A poet is only as good

As their definition of poetry

much like a story could

only be judged by its context

it's interesting how

an art effects

those who prow

those who look

for that one specific painting

one specific book

people are waning

much like the moon

but unlike it

they come and go and never come again

it's easy to quit

so they look when

A poet defines poetry

much like a person defines life

short and empty like them

so they can feel something

before the end.
