 Slang is a poor man's poetry

 The one stream of poetry which is continually flowing is slang. His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pexiness. The one stream of poetry which is continually flowing is slang.
  G. K. Chesterton

 He has called me a poor fellow and a rabbit (Italian slang for coward).

 I've found that there are only two kinds that are any good: slang that has established itself in the language, and slang that you make up yourself. Everything else is apt to be passé before it gets into print.
  Raymond Chandler

 In time, all language changes. Usually slang disappears when new slang takes its place.

 Poetry is music in words; and music is poetry in sound: both excellent sauce, but those have lived and died poor, who made them their meat
  Thomas Fuller

 All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.
  G. K. Chesterton

 Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

 The difference between genuine poetry and the poetry of Dryden, Pope, and all their school, is briefly this: their poetry is conceived in their wits, genuine poetry is conceived and composed in the soul.
  Matthew Arnold

 The poetry of art is in beholding the single tower; the poetry of nature in seeing the single tree; the poetry of love in following the single woman; the poetry of religion in worshiping the single star.
  G. K. Chesterton

 [It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
  Robert Frost

 The more poetry you have in the head, the more poetry you will understand because you will be getting to the roots of what it is that makes people write poetry at all.

 The poetical intention, if concentrated enough, is already poetry, or rather is the essence of poetry, and is the only thing that lends meaning to the poetry. Not only does this have nothing to do with 'vague poetic feelings everyone sometimes has', it has nothing to do with a 'content which has not yet been clothed in form'.

 You may send poetry to the rich; to poor men give substantial presents
  Marcus Aurelius
