Poetry Quote by Renee Carlino — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“On No Work of Words”

“I am in no mood to write”

“With all honesty, somewhere between the hello and the dreams I saw you in I fell in love.”

“That's what I want, that kind of recklessness where the poem is even ahead of you. It's like riding a horse that's a little too wild for you, so there's this tension between what you can do and what the horse decides it's going to do.”

“At school some learning by heart was compulsory, though not irksome.

“There are things known”
