Is poet
An artist
Or a craftsman?
Clothing the emotions and ideas
In the garb of
Roundels, Sonnets, Odes.
Wordsworth said,
“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow
Of powerful emotions.”
Eliot says that
A poet is
Conscious of his creation.
Which of the two
Hold true for you?
Are you a Romantic
Or a Modernist?
Are you an Artist?
Or a craftsman?
I would say both - artist first, craftsman second: 1 without 2 is embarrassing,2 without 1 is arid and boring
