"Do you want
to write a poem?

Forget it...
until
you have
rewritten it." - Lee Bennett Hopkins

"How to begin? How to get better? If you love poetry, that's a good start. If you have a favorite poet, maybe you could memorize a few poems by him/her, so you can carry them around whenever you need or want them. Certain poems - like favorite trees, or views or memories - become old friends over time." - Liz Rosenberg

"Nothing succeeds like failure. Revel in it. You may take a measure of pride if you can say, 'I failed three times today, and that was before lunch.'" - J. Patrick Lewis

"Most of all, I want a poem to say what I really felt or saw or heard - that is, to be true." - Lilian Moore
