A poem is never finished, only abandoned - Paul Valery

Here are some more beautiful quotes on Poetry.

Most people ignore most poetry
because
most poetry ignores most people.
~Adrian Mitchell

The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.
~Jean Cocteau

A poet's hope: to be,
like some valley cheese,
local, but prized elsewhere.

Here's my Poetry.

Poetry

This piece is poetry written by me.

A naked woman livened on canvas,
A drop of water left on her skin
Off the tip of the ornamented brush;
Bloom of a flower out of a being
And wildness of tiger in another-
Is poetry to be read by the eyes.

Tunes awakened by impatient strokes
Shrugged off the metallic strings,
Or pulled out of the stretched membrane
By the retreat of the hand,
And music resonating the foot to taps
Is poetry to the hearing nerves.

A butterfly sucking nectar,
A drop on the flower's petal
In a gelid dewy night,
A sudden ripple towards the shore
Due to a sudden strong breeze,
Is poetry to persons in bonds of faith.
