What is a poet? a person who writes
And longs to ascend to Olympian heights;
A person who's seized with irregular madness,
Who's joyous when glad and depressed in his sadness;
An enigma, a puzzle; someone who writes well,
Or whose half-rhymed enjambments condemn him to hell;
A poet is someone who finds it his duty
To remark on the world and its natural beauty;
He'll go on about life and our shortness of breath,
He will bore you, the reader, to unpleasant death;
And he hopes you will read him again and again;
But above all, a poet's COMPLETELY INSANE.
(Northumberland, April 2006.)
A well composed and entertaining write David! - Love these lines in particular: 'An enigma, a puzzle; someone who writes well, Or whose half-rhymed enjambments condemn him to hell; ' Smiling, Justine :)

I would like to translate this poem
I think you have confused poet with nonpoets. Creative expression is a purity that rejects lies of western compartmentalization. Is not the insanity of the world corporations oblivious to the environment and the best interets of humanity dominating the world?
