Poet Smurf is a character from the original comics and cartoon show. His Wiki page is located here. He also exists in The Smurfs: Light and Dark. To see a full list of episodes in which he appears, please CLICK HERE.
Background Information
Ever since he learned to hold a quill, Poet has been passionately involved with creative writing, particularly in the study of poetry. He is deemed the literary artist of the village and often writes poetry, either in iambic pentameter or lyrical prose, which he shares with his fellow Smurfs. When inspiration strikes, his parchment is filled in minutes!
Role in the Village
He is generally considered the "village bard" based on his grasp of the recorded language, and his poetry can sway any Smurf towards the emotion of his desire: sorrow, joy, malice, romance, etc. He offers great historic incite now and again, too, and keeps records of the major happenings of the village, which are captured in "Ode poems," full-length novels, or scrolls that he gives to Papa Smurf.
Relationship with Smurfette
He first meets Smurfette in "The Smurfette." When she first arrived in the village, he recorded her original, unsmurfy appearance through an imagery poem to convey his disliking for her. When she was later transformed into a real Smurf by the True Blue Spell, his attraction grew and led to a new poem about her that coined the term, "Angel in Blue."
- Season 1 -- Although she has rejected every Smurf's offer of marriage, he still feels a great deal of love for her, and they are notably good friends.
Relationship with Moxette Smurfette
He first meets Moxette in "Peewit's Smurfy Creation."
- Season 1 -- When he is at a loss for words, she seems to know just what to say, and he often laughs alongside his fellow Smurfs at her spot-on impressions. He is one of several Smurfs who develops a crush on her, but it wanes as he realizes that she is simply not interested in dating -- at least, not yet. He considers her as one of his favorite muses (right behind Smurfette, of course).

Appearance
He looks like a generic Smurf, but is almost always seen holding some form of parchment and a feather quill, thus identifying him from the crowd.
Voice Actor(s)
In the cartoon show, he was voiced by Frank Welker, who also portrayed Peewit, Hefty, and Clockwork, to name a few. He continues to be the desired actor.
Trivia
- He wrote his first novel about the cursed Prince Theodore, which he titled, "The Prince and the Hopper," and made many copies for his fellow Smurfs. Happy with the amount of action, adventure, and joyous ending instilled in the true accounts that he witnessed first-hand, he considers it to be one of his greatest literary contributions.
