Answer:
An argument can be made for all of the following EXCEPT:
The speaker is not the poet.
Explanation:
In every poem, the speaker is the voice behind the poem or the narrator of the story. The speaker is created by the poet to voice out the poem. Therefore, the speaker is always treated as a fictional creation. The speaker always chooses a point of view to tell the story. The role of the speaker cannot be denied in a poem. Without the speaker's voice, the story may sound passive and unenjoyable. But the speaker imbues the story with some life, using an active voice.
