Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page.

Poetry should be common in experience but uncommon in books.

Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.

I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems.

Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.
