About This Quote
If you are a poet, you know that there are rules to being a poet. You must write about the way the world really is instead of writing about the way it should be. You must write in alliteration so that your words have an interesting rhythm. You must write about the things that are not just appealing but true. If you are not a poet, then you are merely a character in a poem.
