Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject. 
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
The poetry of earth is never dead:
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
- Keats

  I really missed reading your blogs while you were away.... You're such a word magician and what you spread on the canvas of life is always wonderfully coloured by your experiences
