Poets deal in writing about feelings and trying to find the language and images for intense feelings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.
A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.
Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art.
I see poetry as a path toward new understanding and transformation, and so I've looked at specific poems I love, and at poetry's gestures in the broadest sense, in an effort to feel and learn what they offer from the inside.
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.
Poetry is that art which selects and arranges the symbols of thought in such a manner as to excite the imagination the most powerfully and delightfully.
The job of the poet is to render the world - to see it and report it without loss, without perversion. No poet ever talks about feelings. Only sentimental people do.
