Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance - Carl Sandburg..........Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject - John Keats .........Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge - William Wordsworth ..........Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand - Plato .........No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language - Samuel Taylor Coleridge .........One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves - W. H. Auden ...........Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash - Leonard Cohen .........There is a pleasure in poetic pains which only poets know - William Cowper .........Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood -T. S. Eliot ..........Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason - Novalis...........He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life - George Sand .........A poem is never finished, only abandoned - Paul Valery ........A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland - Kahlil Gibran.............Poetry should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance - John Keats..........To be a poet is a condition, not a profession - Robert Frost........A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself - E. M. Forster.........Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo - Don Marquis...........Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things - T. S. Eliot ..........You can tear a poem apart to see what makes it tick. You're back with the mystery of having been moved by words. The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash or thunder in - Dylan Thomas .........Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words - Paul Engle......... There is not a joy the world can give like that it takes away! Lord Byron

潇潇- 中国

我想用丝绸把我的心包裹起来

——为天问诗歌公约而作

                       潇潇

潇潇 - 中国

 

 我想用丝绸把我的心包裹起来

放进太平洋的海藻中或者乞力马扎罗的雪山上

做一个空心的人

在祖国的心脏守株待兔

等待哪一朵天上的云

落下一场可望而不可即的

理想主义的爱情

或者，生活到别处

坐一夜火车到哈尔滨

在洗尘的高楼上谈诗、朗诵、

反对诗歌的转基因

把空心的地方种上24种植物

然后坐在一群天才诗人中间，天问

等公约之后再来一次高潮的抓阄

其实你抓的，根本不是你想的

你想的都在银河的天上乱飞

在一场远行的醉生中梦死 

不信，掐一下大腿，活的痛

就沿着生命的小道欢呼雀跃起来

有时只有痛才能把死亡从神经中扎醒

就像幸福，始终在眼前摇摆不定

你肝脑涂地，却抓到了幸福的尽头

你抓得飞快，她跑得更快

你抓到了人，一声叹息就碰碎了冬天的心

人的命可以比纸薄

而诗人的心永远比天高
