"Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry,
without a certain unsoundness of mind."
~Thomas Babington Macaulay~
I have created this blog in order to bring a little attention to the very under appreciated art form of poetry. It is my belief that poetry should not just be read and very seldom analyzed. Instead, I believe poetry should be experienced. You should not just read poetry; you should feel it, wonder about it, be absolutely confused by it, etc. Whatever the experience the poem generates, it should serve as a catalyst and elicit some sort of reaction from the reader.
"Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn."
~Thomas Gray~
