Be careful with your words, once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.

Poetry is a series of explanations of life, fading off into horizons too swift for explanations.

I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I seen it.

Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio or looked at television. They had 'Loneliness' and knew what to do with it. They were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the creative mood in them would work.

I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men. They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them. And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river and I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.

What if someone gave a war & Nobody came? / Life would ring the bells of Ecstasy and Forever be Itself again.

POETRY: A sliver of the moon lost in the belly of a golden frog.
