About This Quote

A poem is a meteor. The ability to write a poem and make it come alive in the mind of the reader is one of the most mysterious talents that brings glory to the poet. A person who writes poetry is talented and brilliant — but only in a limited capacity. When we read a poem, we don’t see the writer’s talent.

We only see the words. What we don’t see is how much effort and dedication it took to create those words.
