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 is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation.

Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

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

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