About This Quote

Every word was once a poem, meaning that every word has the potential to be poetry. If you don't like poetry or you think it is boring, then you can't judge what you don't understand. Poetry is the language of the soul. It expresses the inexpressible, and because it does so in a unique way, it can become one of the most beautiful forms of art.
