Poetry Quote by John C. Waugh — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“wild rose roots dream the bees
what does the baby see”

“hanging at the corner
of then and now
the
everything”

“plastic flowers beside the highway
middle of somewhere”

“Straight between them ran the pathway,”

“The campus, an academy of trees,”

“A poet is a man who manages, in a lifetime of standing out in thunderstorms, to be struck by lightning five or six times.”

“May I exchange T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland”

“I have started to see poetry in the strangest of things: from the roughest nub of nutmeg to the pale parsnip seamed with soil. And this has made me wonder if I can write a cookery book that includes the truth and beauty of poetry. Why should the culinary arts not include poetry? Why should a recipe book not be a thing of beauty?”

“I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.”
