My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I shall try to write a poem that is about the moment but doesn't betray things that are true to me as a poet.
My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.
If I were to have a dream job, it would probably be a poet. Then again, I don't think I'm a very good poet!
I try to begin writing as close to a dreamlike state as I can get.
My secrets must be poetic to be believable.
I have written a raucous valentine to a poet's dream and agony.
The only thing you can really say in a poem is what you really, really deeply believe.
I want to have an epic life. I want to tell my life with big adjectives. I want to forget all the grays in between, and remember the highlights and the dark moments.
My intention is to write poems. That's what I've been doing most of my life.
Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.
