If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).

Hi John.
Thanks for the add.
Love poetry myself but have never been able to write it. That said, when I'm teaching film to undergraduates I always get them to dramatise a poem such as MY LAST DUTCHESS by Browning to get their head around theme, structure and rhythm in drama. I also use Milton and William Blake a great deal as a depository of visual and poetic images particularly in my JADED JERUSALEM series of crime novels.
