Ted Kooser tags: poetry, valentine-s-day 34 likes Like Naomi Shihab Nye Anyone who says, Here s my address, write me a poem, deserves something in reply. So I ll tell you a secret instead: poems hide. In the bottoms of our shoes, they are sleeping. They are the shadows drifting across our ceilings the moment before we wake up. What we have to do is live in a way that lets us find them. ? Naomi Shihab Nye tags: poetry 32 likes Like Neil Gaiman If you only write when you re inspired you may be a fairly decent poet, but you ll ne ver be a novelist because you re going to have to make your word count today and t hose words aren t going to wait for you whether you re inspired or not. You have to write when you re not inspired. And you have to write the scenes that don t inspire you. And the weird thing is that six months later, a year later, you l l look back at them and you can t remember which scenes you wrote when you were in spired and which scenes you just wrote because they had to be written next. The process of writing can be magical. Mostly it s a process of putting one word af ter another. ? Neil Gaiman tags: novels, poetry, writing 32 likes Like Pablo Neruda Love is a clash of lightnings ?

I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and then a silence: Yet I know by their merry eyes They are plotting and planning together To take me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairway, A sudden raid from the hall! By three doors left unguarded They enter my castle wall! They O'er If I They climb up into my turret the arms and back of my chair; try to escape, they surround me; seem to be everywhere.

They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine! Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old mustache as I am

Is not a match for you all! I have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down into the dungeon In the round-tower of my heart. And there will I keep you forever, Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away! ?
