from What is Poetry?
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
from What is Poetry
It is what exists between the lines.
A true poem can create a divine still-
ness in the world.
It is made with the stillness of dreams.
It is far, far cries upon the beach at nightfall.
It is a lighthouse moving its mega-phone over the sea.
