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

“The beautiful thing”

“I will follow you,”

“That was her magic—”

“LIFE IS”

“She wore his love like a loaded gun.”

“There”

“Here is a story that’s stranger than strange.”

“may came home with a smooth round stone”

“I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful”

“we are the boat”

“Here's another poem,”

“Tonight, he began to think of words, words came from some well in him, lists of words that arranged themselves into poems, "The Death Mask," "The Fairfax Wall," "A Number of Cats." He could hear, or feel, or even almost see, the patterns made by a voice he didn't yet know, but which was his own. The poems were not careful observations, nor yet incantations, nor yet reflections on life and death, though they had elements of all these. He added another, "Cats' Cradle," as he saw he had things to say which he could say about the way shapes came and made themselves. Tomorrow he would buy a new notebook and write them down. Tonight he would write down enough, the mnemonics.”
