Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. Carl Sandburg, Poetry Considered
In honor of National Poetry Month I wrote my 30th article for eHow.
How to be a Poet.
I’ll be back Monday with a writing prompt.
Lovingly,

I think that it is very hard to be a poet. Full-time poets make financial sacrifices for the rest of their lives.
Who are your favourite poets?
Hey, WritingNag. Just wanted to say how much I love your blog. Also, I just posted How To Live A Poet’s Life on whenthepagecomestolife.blogspot.com which is a response to the How to be Poet post. Hope you like it. Also, I would like to interview you for my blog, let me know if you’re interested.
Ian,
Thanks for the question, I think I will have to write a post on my favorite poets. I keep adding to my list but look for a post soon.
Thanks LoudPen,
I’m going to go read your post as soon as I comment on this. And yes I’d be interested in an interview. I love that a post inspired you to write. Keep writing!
