A poet is a person who writes poetry. A poet's work can be literal, meaning that his work is derived from a specific event, or metaphorical, meaning that his work can take on many meanings and forms. Poets have existed since antiquity, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and time periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed through the course of literary history, resulting in a history of poets as diverse as the literature they have produced.
The English word "poet" is derived from the French poète, itself descended from the Latin first-declension masculine noun poeta, meaning "poet". The word "poetry" derives from the Latin feminine noun poetria, meaning not "poetry" but "poetess".
French poet Arthur Rimbaud summarized the "poet" by writing,
A poet makes himself a visionary through a long, boundless, and systematized disorganization of all the senses. All forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he exhausts within himself all poisons, and preserves their quintessences. Unspeakable torment, where he will need the greatest faith, a superhuman strength, where he becomes all men: the great invalid, the great criminal, the great accursed—and the Supreme Scientist! For he attains the unknown! Because he has cultivated his soul, already rich, more than anyone! He attains the unknown, and, if demented, he finally loses the understanding of his visions, he will at least have seen them! So what if he is destroyed in his ecstatic flight through things unheard of, unnameable: other horrible workers will come; they will begin at the horizons where the first one has fallen!

Plot
Within the African American community there is a definite and noticeable lack of strong, faithful, happy, long-term relationships that has left an incredulous impact on our community. Whether married or not, thriving couplings of black men with black women over a span of five or more years have become all too rare to be ignored. What has been lost over the last 30 to 40 years to the creation and lifespan of successful ebony relationships post-slavery to present? Have we forgotten how to make commitment work, or have black men and women ceased to care enough to put forth a conscious effort to search for, secure, and love one another?

Plot
When Taliban authorities deny the turning over of Osama Bin Laden post 911, U.S. Forces rout their leadership from Kabul and free its Afghan citizens from the brutal grip of spiritual henchman Mullah Mohammed Omar and that of his dark-age Sharia led leadership. Seizing upon this new and volatile window of freedom, matriarch Farishta Mansouri along with her husband Hadar normalize their family's efforts by turning her deceased father's Soviet destroyed bookstore into a restaurant. A place of hope called "The Poet's Corner" along with an open microphone, a small stage and an invitation for all Afghans to read their poetry, voice is now given to the voiceless. Both men and women now have a safe, equal and inviting place to tell their stories and to sing their songs. But like a lightening rod, these new voices of freedom attract the darkest, lingering factional Taliban elements who then target the Mansouri family in the most heinous ways imaginable. In their efforts to silence the platform of freedom, Farishta and Hadar Mansouri are made a dire example by that of the Taliban through their desire to live freely, safely and with their own self-determination. Ultimately overcoming overwhelming odds the Taliban leadership is given a lesson of their own.

Le Sang d'un Poète (The blood of a poet) - sub. spanish
My only weapon is my pen
And the frame of mind I'm in.
I'm a songwriter, A poet.
I'm a songwriter, A poet.
And the things I flash on Everyday
They all reflect In what I say.
I'm a songwriter I'm a poet
(Hook)
They know my word is my bond
(Poet poet poet poet)

An'one saw me up if you can poet
The streets told me poet think if you can poet
Got lean on you, got lean on me, gone, poet
This ain't no rap song, poet
(Verse)
Bounce over in a beat, pogo
In my lolo, watching for the popo
Eat at Poppey, chicken for po-boy
Nice to them po-five, I'm no longer a po-boy
A Rolce Capolo I recorded on the rice
Pull the sausage, butterfly, twice as nice
Oh, pokin' out, case I gotta poke it
Make you do the hokey pokey
Po you, po one, po two, po three
Po, fo pro, pro jay, po jo, po me
You were thinking po me
I was thinking po you
Took yo whole po dub
Thruster, polka, switch the tempo
I'm all down the tempo
Everything in po is sayn make me lookin' po-tent
Everything I blow is po-tent
Every shot candid, I never pose
Stick to the cold, yea, like I'm poser
Free my niggas, let 'em go, fuck the posers
Drink the pain away, poet
Poet poet

Poet, poet, poet on the thick
Shit, ball it low, poet on a bitch
Sir Rocko, poet ova ice
Sir Rocko, poet ova ice
I remember I was Poe, P O E
Then I learned to cross my T, round it out
Spoken word, unplott
Only difference is unplugged
Word play, get them nouns a break
Get 'em verbs play
Turn that reefa a buff
Pronto on the lay, whateva you do, don't add a delay
Knee deep in the game, you wanna poe, you eat po
Look at me, stake my ears, poach
A trunk full of poetry
Cost my life mobilry
Burn rubber in that Porsche
Ain't gon' post her ?
All the posers runnin' from the po house
From the depth of my soul, my heart without ?
Po out some liquor for yo niggas
Poet poet poet poet
They callin' me a poet

I was a novice without a trade
You were an orphan without a name
I was a fighter you couldn't train
And you the flyer on higher planes
I was the secret you couldn't keep
And you the keeper who held the key
I was a criminal out on the streets
And you the lawyer defending me
Of all of the things I could do
I made a fool out of you
With every lie you believed
You made a poet out of me
I was the writer of careless words
And you the reader who finally learned
I'm just a liar in love with love
And you the dreamer just waking up
Of all of the things I could do
I made a fool out of you
With every lie you believed
You made a poet out of me
You're the rain and you're the skies
And I'm a thousand half-ass lies
It's painful but it's true
And I'm the only fool I see
Ain't that a twisted irony?
Obsession it takes control,
Obsession it eats me whole.
I can't say the words out loud,
So in a rhyme I wrote you down.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
Your body lies upon the sheet,
Of paper and words so sweet.
I can't say the words,
so I wrote you into my verse.
Now you'll live through the ages,
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you,
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
I have read her with these eyes,
I've read her with these eyes,
I have held her in these hands.
I have written you down,
Now you will live forever.
The virtues in the verse,
And you will live forever.
I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Maybe I'll go to Yuma
I still have his card
If he didn't change his number
He could reclaim my heart
Maybe I need the desert, or maybe I just need him.
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
Maybe I'll go to Yuma
See how a desert rat lives
Hiding beneath the red rocks
Me and the shade we forgive
I know I truly loved him
I still can't brush off his dust
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
He used to chew tobacco
He used to drink my wine
He never learned "I'm sorry"
He never pressed rewind
He was a wild coyote
But he called me baby doll
I gave him Arizona
And I took the California coast
Tired of borders
I'm going back to where I left my ghost
Don't know if I'll stay there
But I'll stay until my heart gets broke
There's a river that runs through Yuma
He's the river that runs through me
The poet wrote a sonnet to the lady in the bonnet
Whom he saw across the river from his spot beneath a tree
He wrote into his ditty that he found the lady pretty
But he really felt too tired to leave his spot beneath the tree
Won't you cast your eyes toward me
That my own may say I love thee
Oh at last I see a lady I would wed
Pray don't walk away and leave me
For although t'would surely grieve me
It would hurt me more to have to raise my head
She looked across the river and he felt his body shiver
But she didn't see and walked on by his spot beneath the tree
The bonnet in a minute disappeared and all within it
