Some of them need a gag smilie after them but I like 8 and 10.

Quote:Poetry is not a matter of feelings, it is a matter of language. It is language which creates feelings.

-Umberto Eco

made me think of this:

Quote:The sentence/phrase/words are the core, and in them the tone, which is where the emotion is found. (an abstraction captured within a solid core)

The sound is everything. The emotion is what we are after when we read, but the emotion in a poem is in how the thing is said, not what is said.

-trueenigma

and

Quote:Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.

-T. S. Eliot



Quote:All poets write bad poetry. Bad poets publish them, good poets burn them.

― Umberto Eco

Hysterical
