About This Quote

A poem is a ‘line’ between any two points in creation. Poetry can be used to convey an idea, message or feeling in the most eloquent of ways. A poem can be created out of words that are told or sung or composed into a song. Poems are also used to express feelings, thoughts and emotions that are not normally expressed in language. Poems are an integral part of our language because they provide us with a platform to communicate with each other in so many ways.
