More From Robert Morgan

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
Good Love Writing Political
Enthusiasm reaches out with joy, for there is nothing depressing about it; it reaches out in faith, for there is no fear in it; it reaches out with acceptance, for there is no doubt in it; it reaches out as a child for there is no uncertainty about it.

When you're 16, 30 seems ancient. when you're 30, 45 seems ancient. when you're 45, 60 seems ancient. when you're 60, nothing seems ancient.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.
