Poetry is a place. It's where I put my heart and you pick it up to see. My triumphs and scars are engraved there. It is impossible for us to keep such things to ourselves and so we share.—Emily Burns

"Poetry is...
 
Beauty, reason, quiet, love, lust, passion, humility, valor, trust, honesty, loyalty,faith, completion, beginings, tidings, rememberance, forgiveness, anger, regret, embelishment, sorrow, betrayal, hope...
 
Nature, and being natural.
 Religion, and being spiritual.
 Industry, and its progression.
 History, and its repition. 
 Emotion, and the sharing of those compelations.  
 
All things and all things opposite those things."

                                                          -Jenniffer Jude Slachtovsky
