Where have all the poems gone?
Perhaps to a place that despair forgot
A place where angst was brought to naught
Where time has dulled the pain
Of the now blissfully happy, insane
Where have all the poems gone?
Perhaps to a place far away from here
Only in the silence will I hear
As I breathe, the words will flow
And the verses need not go

Quote: You can’t write poetry on a computer
“I always say that you can’t write poetry on a computer, but I can take this notebook places, I can write in restaurants, I can write in friends’ houses, I can write standing up, I can write lying down in my bed — I can write everywhere.”
