Best 6 quotes in «good poetry quotes» category

My idea of good poetry is any dog doing anything.

Poetry's always dead, you know? You don't realize how good poetry is until 15 years later.

Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it's even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words.

The gap between verse and poetry is enormous. Between good poetry and good prose the gap is much narrower

I believe that good poetry resonates with people on a metaphysical level; you can read a poem without quite being able to put into words why you enjoyed it. It could have been the shivers that ran down your spine or the elevating in your heartbeat. Or, it made you smile, or even cry; made you feel something.

It is fatal to decide, intellectually, what good poetry is because you are then in honour bound to try to write it, instead of the poems that only you can write.
