Highest Rating: #596 in Poetry! Poetry collection of my own poems. Please enjoy! "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." -Leonardo da Vinci "A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." -Robert Frost "Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness." -Kahlil Gibran "If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week." -Charles Darwin, The Autobiography of Charles Darwin "Always be a poet, even in prose." Charles Baudelaire
