Have you read that new book of poems by Tom?

No, I haven't, but I heard he writes like a real poetizer.

Yeah, some say his verses are a bit simplistic though.

True, but sometimes a good poetizer can still make you feel something.

Root Explanation

Poetizer → It is formed from "poet" (from Old French *poete*, meaning a maker or creator of poetry) and "-ize" (a suffix meaning to make or to cause to become). The word "poetizer" means to make or create poetry, or to engage in the act of writing poetry.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'poet' as someone who creates poetry, and the '-ize' means to make. So, a poetizer is someone who makes poetry.
