JoeBlue: "The world has teeth and can bite you with them anytime it wants" - not sure.
    another jim: 'not sure'... Isn't that anon's cousin? -
    JoeBlue: Yes yes, I do believe it is. Good call sir. -


JoeBlue: "I apologize for the length of this letter but I didn't have time to make it shorter." - Pascal


JoeBlue: "A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it from going to sleep". - Salman Rushdie


JoeBlue: "Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate, for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves" -T.S. Elliot


JoeBlue: The first task of the man who wants to be a poet is to study his own awareness of himself, in its entirety; he seeks out his soul, he inspects it, he tests it, he learns it. As soon as he knows it, he must cultivate it!...-But the problem is to make the soul into a monster. Think of a man grafting warts onto his face and growing them there. - Arthur Rimbaud


JoeBlue: At the most basic level - good poems need good words.


JoeBlue:
"My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. [â?¦]. I'm two, and both keep their distance â?? Siamese twins that aren't attached.

- From, the book of Disquiet


JoeBlue:
Be accurate,
Be brief &
Be gone.
-old military saying



JoeBlue: I just joined FanStory a few hours ago and I absolutely love it already.
    nancyjam: Welcome Joe. Hope you enjoy! -
    JoeBlue: Thanks Nancy. -
    poetstar: Welcome Joe, and have fun with Fan
    Story. Sincerely Poet Star -
