Regular readers of The Shellshank Redemption know how much I enjoy a good quote (see Motivational Mondays) and that I’m a huge fan of Stephen King (see the King of All Days Part I and Part II.) So, for the 2013 A-Z Challenge, I decided to combine the two, using some of my favorite King quotes about reading, writing and life in general. Enjoy!
*****
And poets, in my VIEW, and I think the view of most people,
do speak God’s language – it’s better, it’s finer,
it’s language on a higher
plane
than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
(Stephen King)
Amen.
And extremely appropriate for National Poetry Month.
Very good post. Everyone sees things at a different view. I like yours.
ReplyDeleteCathrina - thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I'm not a good poet.
ReplyDeleteAlex - I tried my hand at poetry when I was younger but I just don't have the knack for it. I so wish I did!
ReplyDeleteYes! The view of the world is most definitely elevated through poetry :)
ReplyDeletePoets amaze me.
ReplyDeleteKate - it's such a different way of seeing things, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteJai - I'm with you on that.
I totally forgot this was National Poetry Month. What a perfect tie-in.
ReplyDeleteJulie - I try! :)
ReplyDeleteI am awed by people who can produce good poetry. I sure can't.

Oh yes, it's Nat'l Poetry Month! I love reading a well-written poem. Good poetry is like icing with sprinkles on a cookie.
ReplyDeleteShannon - I know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteCynthia - I really want to start reading more poetry...and now I want a cookie, too. :)
I love poetry, it just sings.And I am enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteSuz - I love the idea of poetry "singing." And I'm glad you're enjoying TSR. :)
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Great words. Have fun with A-Z.
ReplyDeleteLinda - thank you! Hope your A-Z Challenge continues to go well.
