Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.
Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.
