WELCOME TO THE WRITE ON THE EDGE POETRY PAGE

Enough can never be said about poetry. So here are so more quotes addressing it. I hope we can build fires in every writer.
 

Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.

Audre Lorde
