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

“I am waiting for the war to be fought”

“The world is a beautiful place”

“Recipe For Happiness Khaborovsk Or Anyplace'”

“Poetry is a naked woman, a naked man, and the distance between them.”

“Think long thoughts in short sentences.”

“Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations.”

“I could feel the day offering itself to me,”

“But for their cries,”

“Some hae meat and canna eat,”

“A poem should not mean”

“Love's mysteries in souls do grow,”

“One way poetry connects is across time. . . . Some echo of a writer's physical experience comes into us when we read her poem.”
