The term "poet" connotes someone who is imaginative, expressive, sensitive, and articulate. While poets may write in various forms (such as odes, sonnets, or ballads), use different meters (such as iambic or trochaic), or be associated with specific literary figures (such as Dickinson or Wordsworth), these are not universally associated with the term "poet." Additionally, while some poets may write pastoral or georgic poetry, these terms are not comprehensive enough to capture the range of connotations associated with being a poet.
