Explicate "This was a poet-It is that"

This poem is about poets and poetry. She defines what a
“Poet” is (notice the capital letter) – one that is able to “distill amazing sense from
ordinary Meanings (again, note the capital). The capital letters emphasize the
importance of the words. What else is a Poet? An “attar so immense” – an attar is an
odor, and this odor is from a “familiar species” – in this case, I believe she is
referring to, again, “ordinary meanings.” So, a Poet is able to create something
beautiful out of something simple.

A Poet can take his/her
readers to an entirely different world through words. A beautiful poem forces one to
look right at it – it captures you. It points out the poverty of the world outside of
the beauty of poetry (Poverty –of portion). Realizing the beauty of poetry can be almost
unconscious but once we realize it, it is with us forever, no one can steal it from us,
because it is an image in our mind. Poetry is timeless – (exterior to
Time).
