Gabriela Olivares "Poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone." Lawrence Ferlinghetti "I wouldn't be surprised if poetry - poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs - is how the world works. The world isn't logical; it's a song." David Byrne, Bicycle Diaries "Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song.
