Basho and Issa are fresh-water poets. Some poets live all their lives in salt water. Archilocus and Matthew Arnold are salt-water poets. Some poets spend part of their lives in salt water and part in fresh water. Gertrude Stein and Allen Ginsberg are two of them.
Poets are very well fitted for writing poetry.
They have hands or feet for writing. Most of them can move through life easily because they are streamlined. Most of them are protected by scales. Of course, poets must find their food in the water about them. Many catch such animals as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
