Poetry is...

A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
W. H. Auden

A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau

I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.
Carl Sandburg

Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.
Marianne Moore

Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
Don Marquis

The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.
Jean Cocteau

To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
Robert Frost

You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you.
Joseph Joubert

A family of five, with
rooms full of carpets,
penknives and books.

Four of us at dinner,
kids staying up late
till dad comes home.

A triad of pests,
we owned the
neighbourhood.

Two ersatz-grannies:
one for the toffees,
one for the stories.

A mysterious creek:
terra incognita to be
explored till sundown.
