A Poetry Quote for Saturday, From Russel Baker
“I gave up poetry myself thirty years ago, when most of it began to read like coded messages passing between lonely aliens on a hostile world.”

Although a poet myself, this quote always makes me laugh, not least because I do know what he means. Some modern poetry is very inaccessible…
Agreed! 🙂
(except for the giving up part – don’t think I could!)
Me neither!
