The Poet and the Poetess

A poet is a person who writes poetry, often using creative language, imagery, and emotion to express ideas or feelings. A poetess refers specifically to a female poet, although "poet" is now commonly used for any gender. Both craft verses that can evoke thought, inspire, or move readers. The difference lies mainly in terminology, with "poetess" being a traditional term that has become less common today. Ultimately, both are artists dedicated to exploring language’s beauty and power through poetic expression.
