"We all need ways to express ourselves, and poetry is one of mine." ― Jack Prelutsky Topic(s): Poetry 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." "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 "The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical."― William Shenstone "I was a 16-year-old girl at one point, so of course I wrote poetry."― Elizabeth Edwards "A poet’s autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote."― Yevgeny Yevtushenko
