Poetry Quote by Carol Ann Duffy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The bed we loved in was a spinning world”

“Words, words were truly alive on the tongue, in the head, warm, beating, frantic, winged; music and blood.”

“Don't let a king”

“There is no Space or Time”

“no moon
the dark sky glad with stars
first crocus pokes winter in the ass”

“I could not love thee, Dear, so much,”

“Your ability to make me feel like I was less than I was, took awhile to recover from. But after ripping my own self worth to shreds for so long, I realized that I wasn't less just because I was more than your inexperienced hands could handle.”

“Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity for our existence. It forms the quality of light from which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action.”
