Words That Sometime Rhyme
As some of you may be all too aware, I majored in English Literature in college. It wasn't just an easy way to spend 4 years, it was a great way to explore some of the real beauty and emotions that this world has to offer. Maybe that sounds a little pretentious, but I've been called worse. These guys say better I guess -
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
-W. H. Auden
A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.
-Wallace Stevens
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
-T. S. Eliot
Well enough of talking about what Poetry is or isn't, or how it makes the world a better place. Let's just get to the actual words and see where that leads. Enjoy.
