Job Vacancy (Poet)

[heslopian]

I'd love a poet who
prises open my eyes, "Prises" feels awkward. How about changing the fragment to "a poet who'll/prise open my eyes"? Of course you'll have to also change "leads" to "lead" in the next line.
and leads me down untrodden paths,
who lances me with words
or tells me stories that are full of laughs. How about just "funny stories"? The sentiment is the same and neither expression is more original than the other.
Some-one who makes coffee snort down my nose, Does "some-one" need a dash?
who is quirky, smart and unafraid. This full stop and the following comma seem like they should be switched.
who keeps me on my toes,

I'd love a poet who
writes words that make me gasp
knows the rules, and
has the tools, but doesn't choose to use them.
Some-one who shares
Jack Nicholson's gift for devil-may-care, I like the half rhyme of "shares" and "care."
with curlicue eyebrows and sticky-up hair Good description.
I like freedom in my verse

but, I'm also a lover of
syncopated rhythm and flawless rhyme,
with a beat that repeats in perfect time
and for whom lines dance like
Fred Astaire
with grace and flair. Excellent rhythm in this verse.

Applicants please form an orderly queue
I may choose to dance with you. Elegant close.

The occasional rhymes work flawlessly and overall this is a charming, whimsical poem. I think the poem could be improved quite a bit by removing all punctuation. Their usage seems arbitrary and thus serves no real purpose. Their removal, however, would help the rhythm. All JMHO, of course.
Thanks for the read, grannyjill.
