When everything makes sense.
Good poetry is born,
When nothing makes sense.”

“Can a poet no be brave? To write the heart's desires and present them, raw and bloody, to an uncaring audience is more terrifying than war!”

Words become poetry,

“What is Poetry
(My Sonnet, My Rules)
Any gargoyle can google
the definition of a sonnet,
Any robot can write and
rhyme 14 lines of a sonnet.
Number of lines don't make sonnet,
Impeccable rhyme don't make poetry.
Critics, police and gatekeepers are
usually least capable of originality.
It's okay if it's few lines extra,
It's okay if it's couple lines less.
It's okay if it doesn't rhyme at all,
It's the soul that matters, not vessels.
You're welcome to your dead laws of poetry,
while I bring poetry to life, shaping society.”

“She gave thee beauty—blush of fire,
That bids the flames of war retire!
Woman! be fair, we must adore thee;
Smile, and a world is weak before thee!”

“In brief space mortals' delight is exalted, and thus again it drops to the ground, shaken by a backward doom. We are things of a day. What are we? What are we not? The dream of a shadow is man, no more. But when the brightness comes, and God gives it, there is a shining of light on men, and their life is sweet." -- Pindar, Pythian VIII.92-97 (trans. Richmond Lattimore)”
