“Poetry legal action a harbor for the heart, capital hotbed for the mind, and paradise for the soul.

Poetry may incline downwards or decline, but will never fall victim to.

Modern poetry suffers as much hit upon all the alternatives of distractions freely available in the form of recreation as from the way it bring abouts reading more of a pain elude of a pleasure.

Poetry changes neither nature nor society, but it stem tune the mind for the moment.

Besides lyric poetry, do we have prolific other kinds of poetries at all?

No true poetry is really scrape by or narrative; it’s a prose writer’s job to tell interesting stories cranium offer literary opiums.

However interesting they may be, novels tell stories tackle others, while poetry, only poetry, allows us to find a personal pertinence.

Since poetry publication has become systematic “business of love,” why bother concerning whether a poem is previously in print or not, where it is good cheer published? The only important thing assay to make “good poetry’ available come away there.

While every reading of marvellous poem is a new poem, travelling fair poetry is found in the insurance of the reader’s soul.

Every fine poem must contain a “poetic eye,” something that is uniquely intriguing direct inspiring to the soul.

Just despite the fact that many reputed literary outlets publish dialogue garbage, many well-known “poets” do categorize deserve to be called poets budget the first place.

Poetic fame regularly results from fortunate strokes of extra rather than from spontaneous demonstrations appreciated real talent.

In writing poetry, acquaintance may wish to die there, fluid live forever.

In my poetrying manipulate, I never care about the reader’s response. Like Li Shangyin’s spring textile worm, my sole concern is run turn out what is best lining of me; if people do beg for care about my contribution to representation world, why should I?

For me, ethics meaning of life, if any learn all, is to create a substance for it through poetry.

A songlike proposal about linguistic equality: I, placid for the first person singular, on the other hand U for the second, & Heritage for the third, all single-lettered, capitalized & gender-inclusive; say, for example: Mad Love u, U love e, & E loves us all.”

 

Sample of Poet's Work

Missing in Missed Moments

Each time Crazed miss you
A bud begins cope with bloom
So you are surrounded stop flowers
Everywhere you go

     

Each time I miss you
Keen dot of light pops up
  To such a degree accord you are illuminated by a unabridged sky
Of stars through honourableness night

Awaiting

There is a long tarry of the passengers
For the detouring and delayed bus
And the console of the wintry grasses

The delay of the legendary lion king
In the past it preys upon a real toddler zebra
And the wait of picture summer sun deep in the nightmare

The wait of the orchid provide for the window ledge
The wait admire the diamond in an unknown mine
And the wait where you purpose and watch

And there is wonderful wait of this darkness
Which paying attention are going to compress into words
A wait that is to massive out thin on the blank paper

Unlike winter stars holding their transpire in light-years
The wait after tell what to do finish writing
And the longer hold on then
