A Poetic Bird in Motion by Janice Taylor, Self-Help\/Weight-Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In celebration of Poem In Your Pocket Day (Thursday, April 26),<\/strong> I have pulled together quotes about poetry that are sure to inspire a poem – or – at the very least, give a poetic fe<\/span>el to your day.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And … for those of us who are pocketless, <\/strong>consider crafting a pocket!\u00a0 It’s as simple as drawing a large U or rectangle on construction paper, decorating it, and cutting it out.\u00a0 For full instructions on the how to of making a fun pocket, click here: POCKET<\/a>.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And now for the QUOTES:\u00a0 Poetry in Your Pocket!!!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman. – Wallace Stevens<\/p>\n

All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. ~ Oscar Wilde<\/p>\n

Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry. ~ Muriel Rukeyser<\/p>\n

Every single soul is a poem. ~ Michael Franti<\/p>\n

God is the perfect poet. ~ Robert Browning<\/p>\n

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem. ~ David Carradine<\/p>\n

Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally, in the end, pleasure. ~ Mark Strand<\/p>\n

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason. ~ Novalis<\/p>\n

Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history. ~ Plato<\/p>\n

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. ~ T.S. Eliot<\/p>\n

Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own. ~ Salvatore Quasimodo<\/p>\n

Which quote ignites your poetic side?\u00a0 Will you carry a poem in your pocket?<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/em>\u00a0 Poetry nurtures the creative side of your brain and, is therefore a Creative Act of Weight Loss!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!
