Desiree hadn't recognized Emily Dickinson either, but that was ok. At least the Professor realized a lot of people hadn't been exposed to muggle authors, like her. But as she thought about the next question, she realized that she couldn't think of any wizard poets either..

She could only think of one thing to say, but didn't want to say it because she felt like everyone would laugh at her, or she would just seem dumb.. But she slowly raised her hand anyway
"Professor, I know this might sound.. strange, and it's not exactly a person.. but I think that the sorting hat should be considered a poet, because every year it creates it's new song to start off the year. The songs almost always rhyme, and are set up in the same structure as poems"

Ok you can stop rambling now, Desiree. She was pretty sure that was one of the worst answers ever, the professor asks for the name of a poet, she says a hat. But at the same time, she wasn't wrong. The hat did create poetry. It thought of them itself.
