Sky-Blue
The azure blue, the heavenly hue,
The first created realm of blue;
And over its radiance divine
My soul does pour its love sublime.
My heart that once with joy did glow
Is plunged in sorrow and in woe,
But yet it thrills and loves anew
To view again the sapphire blue.
I love to gaze on lovely eyes
That swim in azure from the skies;
The heavens lend this color fair,
Arid leave a dream of gladness there.
Enamored of the limpid sky,
My thoughts take wing to regions high,
And in that blue of liquid fire
In raptured ecstasy expire.
When I am dead no tears will flow
Upon my lonely grave below,
But from above the aerial blue
Will scatter over me tears of dew.
The mists about my tomb will wind
A veil of pearl with shadows twined;
But lured by sunbeams from on high
Twill melt into the azure sky. ~ Nikoloz Baratashvili
The way destiny forgot
To etch home on her palms,
The broken compass
Also forgot to point towards north. ~ Ruqayya Shaheed
Later, when his desires had been satisfied, he slept in an odorous whorehouse, snoring lustily next to an insomniac tart, and dreamed. He could dream in seven languages: Italian, Spanic, Arabic, Persian, Russian, English and Portughese. He had picked up languages the way most sailors picked up diseases; languages were his gonorrhea, his syphilis, his scurvy, his ague,his plague. As soon as he fell asleep half the world started babbling in his brain, telling wondrous travelers' tales. In this half-discovered world every day brought news of fresh enchantments. The visionary, revelatory dream-poetry of the quotidian had not yet been crushed by blinkered, prosy fact. Himself a teller of tales, he had been driven out of his door by stories of wonder, and by one in particular, a story which could make his fortune or else cost him his life. ~ Salman Rushdie
The world is filled with so many beautiful people after all and who am I to think that you will hold on, hold on to me, because who am I and what are we? ~ Charlotte Eriksson
Her mascara ran in streaks
down her face
lipstick smeared across her
alabaster cheeks like a porcelain
doll that had been flung around
before the paint had dried.
...
barely blinking
eyes like content little suns
poking through dark mascara
clouds
she is broken
yet whole at the same time
and she belongs to him
(excerpt from "Content" in Make Me Take It From You by HL37) ~ HL37
Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile? ~ Aristotle.
If you could have walked on the planet before humans lived here, maybe the Ivory Coast would have seemed more beautiful than La Côte d'Azur. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
Poetry, is the insulation that lies between the inner walls of the mind. ~ Robert M. Hensel
Do not grieve the gone,
For life is just a loan,
A miracle, a gift for ones who come from within,
To love and carry on. ~ Mira Midha
As for how criticism of Keats' poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I'll leave that for others to decide. ~ Jane Campion
No poetry that I'm aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it. ~ Felix Dennis
Whatever you get out of poetry - take it. take it. take it.
Words are better off felt than understood. ~ Sanober Khan
Do good works or commission an opera house or just take it out and gaze at it longingly when you think of the handsome prince you might have made your own. For the record, I favor the latter option, preferably paired with copious tears and the recitation of bad poetry. ~ Leigh Bardugo
The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than tofind fault. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If you don't have at least a working knowledge of the Hawaiian language ... you can't chant well. You cannot ... receive the images of poetry paints for you. It's like having peas and no pod. ~ Keali'i Reichel
There's a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that's a bit blurred in my mind. ~ Bo Burnham

and only those with beauty in their soul,
care enough to be it. ~ Jenim Dibie
Again I resume the long
lesson: how small a thing
can be pleasing, how little
in this hard world it takes
to satisfy the mind
and bring it to its rest. ~ Wendell Berry
I beg you, help me, in angelic charity,
Pray my efforts will reflect your mastery! ~ E.A. Bucchianeri
Virginity is the poetry, not the reality, of life. ~ Alphonse De Lamartine
A sense of humor is a sense of proportion. It is also a sense of delight
delight in noting life has its incongruities and absurdities and that we can live in spite of them.
John Frederick Nims (WESTERN WIND: AN INTRODUCTION TO POETRY) ~ Margaret Jean Langstaff
While I was fearing it, it came,
But came with less of fear,
Because that fearing it so long
Had almost made it dear.
There is a fitting a dismay,
A fitting a despair.
'T is harder knowing it is due,
Than knowing it is here.
The trying on the utmost,
The morning it is new,
Is terribler than wearing it
A whole existence through ~ Emily Dickinson
Ow," I muttered, because I was once the god of poetry and have great descriptive powers. ~ Rick Riordan
She stood upon a continent of ice, which sparkled between sea and sky, endless and dazzling, as though the world kept all its treasure there; a scale which balanced poetry and prayer. ~ Carol Ann Duffy
Things I love about spring are these:
Blooming flowers on fruit-bearing trees.
Fire-red tulips - their first reveal -
Followed by sun-yellow daffodils.
Trees acquiring new coats of green.
Natural waterfalls glistening.
The chirps and melodies of birds.
Throaty ribbits of frogs overheard.
A passing whiff of mint to smell,
Oregano and basil as well.
Colorful butterflies with wings.
Fuzzy, industrious bees that sting.
Sunlight waning late in the day.
Warm breezes causing willows to sway.
Most of all, a sense of things new,
Including budding feelings for you. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
There is an Arabic writer who wrote philosophy and poetry and who brought all religions and all the world together. ~ Salma Hayek
Stasis in darkness.
Then the substanceless blue ~ Sylvia Plath
Or Trump will become president and make things so awful we will have to hide in the woods and make a fort and become awkward beasts, and we will forget about poetry and watching TV and taking pictures of trees with our cell phones, and we will finally be free. ~ Justin Grimbol
Friday night's alright for fighting
Saturday, Sunday, Monday too
Every night is a night of fighting
With family and friends like you ~ Jessica-Lynn Barbour
I'm a poetry-skipper myself. I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country - make it any other two persons. This doesn't mean that I hate poetry. I don't feel that strongly about it. It only means that those who wish to communicate with me by means of the written word must do so in prose. ~ Will Cuppy
Fourier is a mathematical poem. ~ Lord Kelvin
It is the very strangeness of nature that makes science engrossing. That ought to be at the center of science teaching. There are more than seven-times-seven types of ambiguity in science, awaiting analysis. The poetry of Wallace Stevens is crystal-clear alongside the genetic code. ~ Lewis Thomas
You think aura is a veil
But there's nothing eat me and
wear me down like shame ~ Silenus Poetry
I don't like poetry that doesn't give me a sense of ritual, but I don't like poetry that doesn't sound like people talking to each other. I try to do both at once. ~ Miller Williams
