Poems is nobody

Poems  is nobody’s

business except the poet’s,

and everybody else can fuck off.

– Philip Larkin -

Poetry is the journal

Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land,

wanting to fly in the air.

Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at

the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable.

Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are

made and why they go away.

- Carl Sandburg -
