Quotable Poetry Quotes
For this area, I would like you to submit intriguing, interesting, compelling, surprising, amusing and clever quotes from literary or poetic figures. Underneath the quote, simply write a hyphen and who the quote is attributed to. Below it a hyphen and the word ‘submitted by’ and your name. Have fun with this column! Please do not submit song lyrics unless they are by Bob Dylan. In my humble opinion, Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan are the only two poet geniuses the world has produced. They are miles above anyone else. See if you can come up with a list of your favorite Bob Dylan song lyric quotes. My favorite three are: “I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow” from Bob Dylan’s song, A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall; “The Ghost of Electricity howls in the bones of her face” and “Even Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles” from Visions Of Johanna and “You know as well as me that you’d rather see me paralyzed, why don’t you just come out once and scream it?”, from Positively 4rth Street. These are just brilliant lines. I think that last line about being paralyzed is funny and ironic now that I’m paralyzed from the waist down from my car accident. I also submitted a list of twelve of my favorite literary quotes to give you a further example of what I would like to see submitted from you. Have fun with this column!
Please proofread your quotes and type in or copy and paste only your best quotes directly into the quotes column When you submit your poem, you will automatically be sent an email confirmation where you will be asked to click on a link to confirm your submission, and your poem will be added to the website. This email may end up in you bulk mail, so don’t forget to check there also. This measure was added to each column to prevent spamming and unwanted messages. At the end of every month, I will remove objectionable quotes. Please proofread and edit your submission before you finalize your submission.
