"We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words." ― John Fowles Topic(s): Poetry More From John Fowles "There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not anymore what you will become. It is what you are and always will be." "There are only two races on this planet – the intelligent and the stupid." "In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me." More In Poetry "Every so often I find some poems that are too good for the readers of The Atlantic because they are a little too involved with the nature of poetry, as such."― Peter Davison "For me, prose walks, poetry dances."― James Broughton "What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can’t define it."― Robert Morgan
