The crown of literature is poetry. Maugham
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
