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

“The BALLPOINT PENGUINS, black and white,”

“A wealth you cannot imagine”

“A poet is not somebody who has great thoughts. That is the menial duty of the philosopher. A poet is somebody who expresses his thoughts, however commonplace they may be, exquisitely. That is the one and only difference between the poet and everybody else.”

“At the edge of madness you howl diamonds and pearls.”

“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 emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.”

“Far over the misty mountains cold”

“O rose, you look sick.”
