About This Quote

The power of poetry lies in its ability to communicate a message without any words. The inspiration for a poet lies in the use of words and the manner in which those words are used to express the creative mind. Poetry is a form of art that can make one think, feel and even see things from a different perspective. Poetry is not only an art but it is also an effective way to express emotions.
