"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
The heart writes in iambic meter. Life's paint is from heaven to hell. Together they form a grey theater which doesn't just talks to talk, but tell.

I'm writing a paper on poetry right now - where I will have my own poetry in the end of it - and I'm wondering if you have some good pages on the subject. It's not like I don't have any sources, I just thinking of broaden my horizons.
I maybe should add that I did not have a purpose to write in iambic meter. It was just a spontaneous thought, which came after reading your post. May seem funny if you think about it!

Wisława Szymborska's heart have stopped beating.
Hello! I'm a new blogger/writer and I just added myself to your followers for support! Maybe you could come follow me too?
Thanks so much!
Wow P.J.- That first stanza above was gorgeous! Was was sad to hear of Wisława Szymborska's death.
Sorry about the late- way late response- I've been juggling a billion and a half things.
If you want some good pages read the Preface to Lyrical Ballads written by Wordsworth!
