San Francisco

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.
