One of my favorite quotations about poetry:
"If you want to write poetry, you must have poems that deeply move you. Poems you cannot live without. I think of a poem as the blood in a blood transfusion, given from the heart of the poet to the heart of the reader. Seek after poems that live inside you, poems that move through your veins."
- Ralph Fletcher
So no pressure or anything. You just have to donate YOUR OWN BLOOD to write poetry! Wow, it's powerful stuff, isn't it?
