“Or like a poet woo the Moon,Riding an armchair for my steed,And with a flashing pen harpoonTerrific metaphors of speed.”
“Give a poet a pen”
“Your eyelashes will write on my heartthe poem that could never come from the pen of a poet.”
“I understood the word 'swoon'. It felt that way, like 'sweep' and 'moon' and 'woo', all those words smashed together in one word that stood for that feeling, right then.”
“Boy, you ain't a poet ... just a drunk with a pen.”
“Islands are metaphors of the heart, no matter what poet says otherwise.”
