More From Jack Prelutsky
- "I look for poetry in English because it’s the only language I read."
- "Children seem naturally drawn to poetry – it’s some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves."
- "Poetry seems to sink into us the way prose doesn’t. I can still quote verses I learned when I was very young, but I have trouble remembering one line of a novel I just finished reading."

- "I wish you would read a little poetry sometimes. Your ignorance cramps my conversation."― Anthony Hope
- "One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music."― Stephen Sondheim
- "A lyric, it is true, is the expression of personal emotion, but then so is all poetry, and to suppose that there are several kinds of poetry, differing from each other in essence, is to be deceived by wholly artificial divisions which have no real being."― John Drinkwater
