Poetry is...
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
W. H. Auden
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau
I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.
Carl Sandburg
Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.
Marianne Moore
Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
Don Marquis
The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.
Jean Cocteau
To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
Robert Frost
You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you.

A family of five, with
rooms full of carpets,
penknives and books.
Four of us at dinner,
kids staying up late
till dad comes home.
A triad of pests,
we owned the
neighbourhood.
Two ersatz-grannies:
one for the toffees,
one for the stories.
A mysterious creek:
terra incognita to be
explored till sundown.
