“The same hand that can write a beautiful poem, can knock you out with one punch—that's Poetic Justice.”
In this quote, "Irish" Wayne Kelly highlights the duality of human nature, emphasizing that the same individual who possesses creative talent and beauty can also have the capacity for aggression and violence. This concept of poetic justice suggests that there is a balance in the world, with both positive and negative forces at play. It serves as a reminder that individuals are complex and multifaceted, capable of both creating and destroying. Kelly's words prompt us to consider how beauty and brutality can coexist within the same person.
“It was as important to live poetically as to write poems.”
“Every poet will forever try to write the greatest poem ever written, I have found that this kind of poem can be written with “One” word. And that word consists of a beauty beyond any measure to man and one of the most beauty creations to grace the presents of man. That one word poem is…….. “YOU”
“That's all I've ever dreamed of, Mr. Bones. To make the world a better place. To bring some beauty to the drab humdrum corners of the soul. You can do it with a toaster, you can do it with a poem, you can do it by reaching out your hand to a stranger. It doesn't matter what form it takes. To leave the world a little better than you found it. That's the best a man can ever do.”
“As we change, our writing changes too. You cannot write the same poem twice. And that's a good thing.”
“Just as there exists in writing a literal truth and a poetic truth, there also exists in a human being a literal anatomy and a poetic anatomy. One, you can see; one, you cannot. One is made of bones and teeth and flesh; the other is made of energy and memory and faith. But they are both equally true.”
