"I look for poetry in English because it’s the only language I read." ― Jack Prelutsky Topic(s): Poetry More From Jack Prelutsky "Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood." "Children seem naturally drawn to poetry – it’s some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves." "Otherwise I don’t read much adult poetry at all, because I’m not smart enough and mostly I don’t get it." More In Poetry "Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed."― A. R. Ammons "You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you."― Joseph Joubert "Poetry is man’s rebellion against being what he is."― James Branch Cabell
