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

“Title: Blue Light Lounge Sutra For The Performance Poets At Harold Park Hotel”

“I dream the scent”

“John Keats / John Keats / John / Please put your scarf on.”

“We must not be frightened nor cajoled”

“I’ll always deny that I kissed her.”

“I should have told You”

“In the very essence of poetry there is something indecent; A thing brought forth that we didn't know we had in us, So we blink our eyes, as if a tiger had sprung out And stood in the light, licking its tail.”
