Poetry has been around for thousands of years. Like other forms of literature, poetry is written to share ideas, express emotions, and create imagery.


Every poet finds their own muse – the irresistible figure that draws the artist (author, writer) toward the light of creativity. To some, muse is a guardian spirit or force who is a source of inspiration for creativity.

Write me a poem. Write me several poems. A muse me. — N’Zuri Za Austin

Jean Genet
If you look a dog in the eye too intensely, it may recite an astounding poem to you.


A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. — Jean Burden

One of the best partners in writing? A cat! — Primadonna Angela



Edgar Allan Poe
To elevate the soul, poetry is necessary.

Ankita Singhal
Poetry is breathing words that give a reader pause.

Edith Sitwell
All great poetry is dipped in the dyes of the heart.
Real poetry, is to lead a beautiful life. To live poetry is better than to write it. — Matsuo Bashō
