What makes a great poet?
I would have to say, the poet themself.
Carefully chosen words spoken or written by an individual, yet, felt and heard by many. Poetry to me is a sacred bound form the mind to the fingers. It holds the true feelings in the heart. Fragile as it is, it seems to link all of these together and release what is to be said, rather than, what will be said.
