When poetry is on the money, 12 words can slay you. I admire that greatly Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a street fighter. It has sharp elbows. It can look after itself. Poetry can’t be used for manipulation; it’s why you never see good poetry in advertising Picture Quote #1

I think many people love poetry who don’t know they love it. People are sometimes afraid of poetry, or they’ve been introduced to poetry that doesn’t speak to them Picture Quote #1
