Poetry can always attract attention to anyone. Quite often someone uses the medium of poetry to express affection for their parents or friends.
Poetry is one way where you can have all your imaginations. Poetry is also an expression of feelings. The all kinds of love, sorrow and happiness. For todays generations, poetry is now a glimpse of the tradition of our history.
Am a lover of poetry. This quote is a brilliant one.
I like poetry especially if it is put together by a good poet. some poems are intriguing, inspirational and motivating
Ahahahaha! Nice! I love the creativity in Mariannne Moore’s mind as shown in this quote of hers.
I am not aware that she is the author of the quote. I have read that quote many times now. I am sure that some people are trying to steal it because of the message it employs to us.
Words from a table of a scholar. Literarily one wont get the full gist but looking deeply, it means alot. Thanks for sharing.
Making imaginary things visible is the uniqueness of poetry. Great quote, thanks for sharing Man
I love poetry because it allows you to create an ideal world that doesn’t exist. You can be whatever you want.
Definitely, that’s what poetry is all about. Making a creative write up that is full of sense.
Quite an insightful take on poetry. I like it.
Poetry speaks to our deepest soul. I agree with the quote.
Marianne Moore was such an intellectual. I admire all his quotes.
Creating imaginary gardens with real toads? Sounds like a conundrum to me.
I’d like to read a few of Marianne’s poetry. They must be phenomenal.
This is the true definition of poetry. It’s actually poetic in itself.
Indeed poetry is an art. I agree with that 100%
Poetry to me is the sicerest form of writing. Nothing quite compares to it.
I have to admit that this flew over my head. I don’t understand the analogy.
At its core, poetry does involve a lot of imagination. And an active one at that!
I will have to look for the poems by Moore. I am very much interested.
This is a very good idiomatic expression. It has a very deep meaning.
