About This Quote
A poem is a frozen momentmelted by each reader for themselvesto flow into the here and now. Poetry can be applied to not only written works of art, but to the appreciation of life. Life is full of moments. We are always taking our experiences and freezing them into words that are then discarded. However, the power of poetry lies in its ability to freeze that flow into a moment that can then be shared with others.
