When the poet is in love, he is incapable of writing poetry on love. He has to write when he remembers that he was in love.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.
When somebody's in love with you, they think it's amazing you've written them a poem, and when they don't love you anymore, they hate those poems. They wish those poems would go away.
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.
Most lyric poetry is about love, whether yearned after, fulfilled, or wistfully regretted; what isn't tends to consist of laments and cris du coeur over this, that, and the other.
Sometimes, when you are in a really constrained situation, it makes you more focused about what you want to say and where you're heading. The most beautiful love poems that were ever written are sonnets, composed in a very constraining form.
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
The reason one writes poems is so that your poem will be remembered.
Poetry is what we turn to in the most emotional moments of our life - when a beloved friend dies, when a baby is born or when we fall in love.
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
