What is a poet

A poet is a stainless steel porcupine loaded with poison ink quills caffiene blood and a twitchy hair trigger tail set to go off in all directions. At once.

How do porcupines make love, particularly the hair-trigger kind? I ask because of this poisonous twitch. It's getting in the way.

So true. the part about the poison.
Hey , do me a favor, read my poem into my world, acrostic. Tell me what you think. It made it to the top ten in less than a week. But personally, I think it's kinda weak.
