A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
A dark poem is meant to redeem the dark part.
Poetry is a release of something previously unknown into the visible. You write to invite that, to make of yourself a gathering of the unexpected and, with luck, of the unexpectable.
In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.
Poetry is that sentiment of the soul, or faculty of the mind, which enables its possessor to appreciate and realize the heights and depths of human experience. It is the power to feel pleasure or suffer pain in all its exquisiteness and intensity.
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
The poet is someone, I think, who's interested in registering experience immediately or giving you the sense of immediacy and directness.
The poet is like the earth's shadow. The sun moves, and the poet writes something down.
Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
