poets are the greatest treasure hunters,
or maybe, they might be the happiest.
most likely the most fulfilled.
poets are the richest in nature.
or maybe, just the most aware.
most likely just the most sleep deprived.
poems are our greatest treasure,
like chests full of gold.
instead of gold it's words.
that we crave to hold.
poets are the hungriest.
for emotion, life, and fear.
or maybe,
just the calmest.
sitting quietly.
amongst their peers.
people often ask what poets are, or what classify's as a true poet.
but sometimes the greatest poets are the ones that don't write at all.
just the common folk that inspire us to write, to imagine, to create.
so thank you all you common folk who live out there living the poetic life without even trying.
