 Muscat Azzopardi was also a leading poet, who experimented with the flexibility of Maltese as a means of poetic expression.Most of his poems are found in the ’"Ġabra ta’ Poeżiji bit-Taljan u bil-Malti" (1876), "Ħamsin poeżija bil-Malti" (1890) and "Ġabra sħiħa ta’ Sunetti bi Studju fuqhom tal-Kittieb Innifsu" (1956).His poetry took many valid elements from the surrounding ambience and the social interpretation presented was many a times of direct inspiration to other poets.
