A poet who is truly respected
may not be the most brilliant cited
nor number one in the recent survey
but someone whose mind best convey.

A poet who is a creative critic
may not be someone who is prolific
nor gives comment somewhat stupor
but the one who inspires as a mentor.

A poet who reads poems and analyses
may not be someone who is the wisest
nor his poetry the most read composition
but becomes an epitome of the association.
