Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations. Poetry is the voice within the voice of the turtle. Poetry is the face behind the face of the race. Poetry is made of night thoughts. If it can tear itself away from illusion, it will not be disowned before the dawn.
Poetry is made by evaporating the liquid laughter of youth.
Poetry is a book of light at night. Poetry is the final gestalt of the imagination. Poetry should be emotion recollected in emotion. Words are living fossils. The poet should piece the live beast together and make it sing.
