“We all write poems; it is simply that the poets are the ones who write in words”
John Fowles
“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?”
Oscar Hammerstein II
“In your light I learn how to love.In your beauty, how to make poems.You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
“The true poem rests between the words.”
Vanna Bonta
“Judge a poem like you would judge a person, for it was the person who wrote the poem.”
A.J. Chilson
“It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem. Every new relationship is a new word.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A poet who has not produced a good poem before he is twenty-five, we may conclude cannot, and never will do so.”
William Wordsworth
