“Poetry is thoughts that breath and words that burn.”
“Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.”
“Thoughts that we breathe and words that burn…”
“Poetry has an immediate effect on the mind. The simple act of reading poetry alters thought patterns and the shuttle of the breath. Poetry induces trance. Its words are chant. Its rhythms drumbeats. Its images become the icons of the inner eye. Poetry is more than a description of the sacred experience; it carries the experience itself.”
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
“People who read poetry have heard about the burning bush, but when you write poetry, you sit inside the burning bush.”
