More From Paul Engle

Poetry is ordinary language raised to the nth power. poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words.
Ideas Reading Poetry Skins
The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs; he is also a demure, almost a maidenlike, guest in hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. he is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.

We need to find secular ways to cultivate warm-heartedness. we need secular ways to educate ourselves about inner values. the source of a happy life is within us. trouble makers in many parts of the world are often quite well educated, so it is not just education that we need. we need to pay attention to inner values.
