"I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well." ― Annie Lennox Topic(s): Poetry Tags: branch More From Annie Lennox "It’s hard to tell how far women’s individuality has come in the past twenty years." "When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty – they were coming from a universal and personal place." "Women’s issues have always been a part of my life." More In Poetry "Poetry is a sort of homecoming."― Paul Celan "Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory."― George William Curtis "All good poetry is forged slowly and patiently, link by link, with sweat and blood and tears."― Alfred Douglas
