I play because I love.

I don't want to die, but if I have to I will.

If there is beauty in poetry, I seek to write it.

One does not have to be dying to be near death.

If I am plan B, then I have spared many from plan C.

The more I tell myself to shut-up, the worse I get.

One cannot plagiarize oneself.

Writing poetry isn't hard, it's realizing you're not yet good at it, that's hard.

A poet suffers for his part
In writing ink that stains his heart.

Up until 1 year ago, I thought sonnets were a complexly woven type of hat.
