King's Speech: V is for VIEW

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.

  2. Alex - 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!

  7. 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.
