I was thinking about a poet I love who definitely filled this description. Happy Poetry Month!
Someone once told me
a poet is a little god
inside your heart
who listens
when your heart sings
and knows more things
about you
than you know
about yourself.
A poet is a little god
who helps you to feel deeply
emotions you never felt before.
A poet is a little god
who brings you inspiration
and the perfect combination
of words and rhyme
to a love poem
for the person you adore.
A poet is a little god
who spreads so much love
and makes
what you thought
was impossible – happen
with a little help from the heavens above.

Poets love their work but some writers. Believe they are gods. Hello from Michigan dear friend.

The expression comes from a friend who is a poet and he explained his reasoning. For him, poets he read saved his life while in the armed forces. He memorized poems like prayers that gave him strength to carry on. So there is no suggestion that somehow there is an equivalent in terms of the divine. Thanks for your comment.

I carry the book. “100 best poems” with me in my time in the Army. I shared with many. I still have the book. I would read books and write poetry and story when I was deployed. Made the time go quicker if the mind was busy. Hello my friend.
