Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
A poet before anyone else is a person who is passionately in love with language.
The mother tongue of the human race is poetry.
Real poetry like true friendship is extremely rare and as precious as a pearl.
What's in the heart is what is expressed!
It is a beautiful way of expressing feelings - happy, sad, angry, caring, etc.
It is also a way that we share with other people, to help them with those feelings.
Poetry is the language of the heart and ambiguity is the heart of poetry.
Poetry in its entirety is divinity!!

What makes you a poet is a gift for language, and ability to see into the heart of things, and the ability to deal with important unconscious material. When all these things come together, you are a poet. But there isn't a small gimmick that makes you a poet. There isn't a particular formula or trick to writing a poem, it is just a matter of time and the sequence of experiences in life!
