Wow! What a delightful and inspiring collection of lines from poetry. I'm still thinking about that beautiful line from Maya Angelou. I've been thinking recently about the loss of loved ones and that line is deeply comforting. And Jenny Kiss'd Me uses the power of reminding ourselves of the good things.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to start my own list of favorite lines from poetry. Thank you, Anne.
I'm not big on poetry, but you can get some amazing inspiration from it at times.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I really need to read Margaret Atwood's poetry, I love her fiction writing. My favourite quote on this list was the one by Mary Oliver.

The thing about poetry is they can pack so much meaning into such compact lines. I love that third one especially. The Cummings one is nice too!
ReplyDeleteI love the Mary Oliver line about a precious life. It's so straightforward, but at the same time, powerful.
ReplyDeleteI would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite from this list. At this particular moment, I might choose Amanda Gorman's lines. It felt like she rang the bell, signaling a changing of the guard for the better.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic! Really like the line from Antonio Machado, will have to look him up.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love the theme of this list! I used to write poetry myself. Great list!

I always love that Mary Oliver quote! Love these beautiful lines. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I absolutely love your twist here! What a great poetry month spin. I hadn't heard of a lot of these before, so I'm glad to have discovered some new poems! I absolutely love Rumi.
