Everybody loves poetry.
Idris Goodwin (writer, performer, teacher, idea man) on the truth about poetry:
“Actually, everybody loves poetry. They’re listening to poetry on their iPods. They spout poetry on the basketball court. They watch poetry on their television. A lot of people don’t realize that poetry is all around them. Poetry is the root of all forms of non-literal expression. But most people don’t think about it this way.”

This makes perfect sense. Why haven’t I realized it before?
I SHALL NOW PROCLAIM TO THE MASSES!
… I’ll find a good street corner first.
And, thanks to Mr. Goodwin, they’ll have to love me.

Do not know how high the sky is until one climbs up the tops of mountains , and do not know how thick the terra firma is until one comes to the deep river. There is only one achiever — to be able to spend your life in your ain way.
