The tragedy of a poet without words.

[QDeathstar]

A poet without words is a mime.

I think the poem needs a trim. And I don't think the third person view helps it it. First person could be more intense, since the speaker has something to gain or lose, not "he" who. I would also attempt to explain why a poet without words is a tragedy at all. If he is a poet without words perhaps he misinterpreted his life's calling. That's the real tragedy here.

A poet without words is someone sad and absurd.

Choked. Hacking letters
