She asked me why I never came, said she had heard all sorts of stories about me. This was only to gain time. Asked me, was I writing poems? About whom? I asked her. This confused her more and I felt sorry and mean. Turned off that valve at once and opened the spiritual-heroic refrigerating apparatus, invented and patented in all countries by Dante Alighieri..

Most victims of my autobiographical verse are either far too polite, remarkably understanding unaware that I have written poems about them.

It's easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.
- Philip Dunne
I can't help but notice that you keep writing love poetry to my wife. Well, you see, I married her, which makes her my wife. You know what you might want to try? Writing some poems about the sunset. The sunset isn't fucking married.
- A J Jacobs
I wish I had eyes that changed colors from blue to gray, and then after I cried, to all the colors of the rainbow, because then I'd just sit in front of the mirror writing poems that alternated between extremely sad poems, to poems about light refraction and blinking promises.

Sometimes the thought of his mother working so hard while he did nothing would come suddenly upon his and he would rush off and try to help her, but whatever he did turned out wrong....So that it always ended in his mother saying, 'Oh, run along for goodness' sakes, and let me get on with my work.' And then Jack would go and lie on his front...and make up pretty poems about the Dignity of Labor, or about how dear and good mothers are.
- E Nesbit
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
- Jack Nicholson
There's so much to think about when you're becoming an adult, and there's so many great poems about that apprehension and excitement.
- Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg
A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it.
- Amber Tamblyn
All of these teeth had once been in real, live people. They had talked and smiled and eaten and sang and cursed and prayed. They had brushed and flossed and died. In English class, we read poems about death, but here, right in front of me was a poem about death too.
