"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost." --Gandalf; Lord of the Rings Trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien
"If of all words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are, 'It might have been,'
More sad are these we daily see:
'It is, but hadn't ought to be.' "
--Francis Brett Hart
"Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." --poem in Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbit.
"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." --Henry Van Dyke
"Nothing can come of nothing: speak again." --Shakespeare
I LOVE the "To Be, or Not to Be" monologue, also by Shakespeare.
One band whose lyrics and overall musicality I find to be very inspiring is Nickel Creek. Unfortunately, they're breaking up. As tribute to them, I recently hosted a contest called "Why Should the Fire Die?". In addition, I am currently creating my own series of Nickel Creek inspired poems of my own. In the end there will be 30 pieces in the series.
Lists:
Nickel Creek Inspired Series

Current Poetic Fascinations:

I would LOVE for you to read my pieces. And although I must admit that I do enjoy positive comments, if you see something you think could be bettered, please let me know. I always look for critical comments to help me grow as a writer.
