Maybe you're one of those people who writes poems, but rarely reads them. Let me put this as delicately as I can: If you don't read, your writing is going to suck.

. . . All artists’ work is autobiographical. Any writer’s work is a map of their psyche. You can really see what their concerns are, what their obsessions are, and what interests them.

I'm so in love with you I can't stand up.

I only want to walk a little longer in the cold blessing of the rain, and lift my face to it.

Love's merciless, the way it travels in and keeps emitting light.

Love me like a wrong turn on a bad road late at night.
