Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can't define it.

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.

Hey there BG, I enjoyed these quotes.
One of my friends has been taking a writing class. They talk about poetry and have stated pretty much the same as these quotes. I just found that interesting that this seems to be 'across the' board true regarding poetry, having heard from other sources also, just this past year. Thanks for sharing these quotes. Just struck a sweet chord with me since I love poetry. I have a question and maybe you would want to answer via PM rather than on this thread..........since this is mainly just for the quotes but poems that need to be read with a certain pattern of tone in the voice or inflection in the voice........what do you think on that subject? Dark poetry needs to be read differently than poems of fantasy or specific to one's celebration of birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Oh , I agree but J I have never taken a class in regards to poetry(h.s junior English class) so all I have is the "laymans experience" but when I read, I always read in a monotonous tone, and then reread as I feel it should be read after the words speak to me. Also when I write I just start writing sometimes my first line will end up with as being the last line. I just like to write no ryhme or reason only what I feel at the moment, lol maybe it shows.
Recently I found a site that tells about differnt types of poetry, I thought it may be fun to try and match up some of my poems to the differnt styles(if possible) or try to write from their description., however that would take discipline and may take out some of the creativity of writing. That is where I got the idea of writing Ode To My Flowers...that turned out pretty well so maybe a little structured creativity can be a good thing.Shadow Poetry -- Resources -- Types of Poetry
Hopefully I answered your question...I do tend to ramble...
"Enemies are the only ones who will be truly honest with you. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty." I don't agree with that in all situations, but it does have some truth to it.
"I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress." André Gide
