What is a poet and what is poetry?

A poet does not report the outer world; he reveals the inner music that existence awakens within him, transforming life into a creative expression of art.

— Osho
According to Osho, a poet approaches existence subjectively, not to report outer facts but to reveal the inner music events awaken in him. Poetry is the essence of art—the creative expression of your response to life, whether in words, sound, color, or stone. Unlike science that discovers, poetry creates, freeing us to participate in existence and bringing us closer to the creator.

A poet feels life deeply and turns those feelings into creations, and poetry is that feeling expressed like a living song.
