Glorious sex that poets write about and that angels blow their trumpets over absolutely requires the participants to be fully engaged and fully witnessing the entire event!
~ Roberto Hogue
Poetry is Life. We experience poetry from the time we awake each morning and inhale that fresh breath of air. You are living poetry. Poetry is not defined by the laws of man. Inspiration is the key.
~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana
A writer will divine a metaphor from a pattern on a dress, or a gesture, because sunsets have been done before.
What you are trying to let go of...is already gone.
Let your writing liberate you. Write with passion to allow your feelings to breathe and enjoy the journey across blank pages.
~ Amitav Chowdhury
It is as if the soul of the continent is weeping. Why does it weep? It weeps for the bones of the buffalo. It weeps for magic that has been forgotten. It weeps for the decline of poets.It weepsfor the black people who think like white people.It weepsfor the Indians who think like settlers.It weepsfor the children who think like adults.It weepsfor the free who think like prisoners.Most of all, it weepsfor the cowgirls who think like cowboys.
~ Tom Robbins

Protesters are still on the fringes like satellites, revolving around the system. But prophets and poets lead us into a new world, beyond simply yelling at the old one.
~ Shane Claiborne
I'd had a little feeling of destiny. Because, you see, what I mean about affinities is true from friendships down to even the accidental glance at someone on the street-there's always a definite reason somewhere. I think even the poets would agree with me.
~ Patricia Highsmith
If you were destined to be a poet, then you won't brainstorm for lines that rhymes. If you were destined to be a celebrity, then you shouldn't start searching for fans. If you are truly a god, then let others worship you!
~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Poets may be delightful creatures in the meadow or the garret, but they are menaces on the assembly line.

I write because there are things in me that cannot die.
A Poet never denies creativity entrance.

poetry. i am not writing it.(make way for me please)it is my skin. dripping with light.
Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.
~ Walt Whitman
We dreamt of a crappy apartment somewhereMaking love while we let the midnight airFlow through the open window, into our closed heartsLeft bitter from heartbreak and too much time apart

Your words... I hold them deeplike ancient skinshold wrinkles.
A chronic poet should always be an inveterate nature-lover.

Copywriters, journalists, mainstream authors, ghostwriters, bloggers and advertising creatives have as much right to think of themselves as good writers as academics, poets, or literary novelists.

Annant is Pickwick paperless, the hunter of wisdom and due to Lovelace heart, a budding poet-ass.

Too often, feelings arrive too soon, waiting for thoughts that often come too late.
Tell me something only you know and make a new friend.
There is a moonlight note in the Moonlight Sonata, there is a thunder note in an angry sky.
Before the first before and after the last after, there is night waiting.
Love is almost never simple.
Although all days are equally long regardless of the season, some days are long not only seasonally but by rewards they offer.
Our desire to say more grows bigger and what to say about it, except that saying is not always about saying, growing is not always about growing.
Nobility is not only in forgiveness.
Forget decorated generals, tell me about Private Ryan.
There are countless circles of hell, believers never penetrate the ninth circle.
For a moment at least, be a smile on someone else’s face.
Strangers are endearing because you don’t know them yet.
They blossomed, they did not talk about blossoming.
