― Harley King ,
23 " Memory shimmers as a crystal lakethat reflects all things invisible. "
24 " Reading haiku is as much an art as writing it. The reader needs to pause and listen to the silences, to feel the spaces between the words, and to journey into the depths of many multi-colored worlds. "
― Harley King , Mother, Don't Lock Me In That Closet!
25 " Laughter is a gift for lovers. "
26 " May your journey through life be vibrant and full of colorful rainbows. "
27 " Many of the poets writing today are hung up on language and symbolism. If the poem does not have depth of meaning or fit a certain academic styles and standards, then it is not poetry. Poetry should relate to the man on the street who has to work for a living. Until poetry connects with the working man, it’s not going to sell; it’s not going to be of value. "
28 " All things old become new again. In my youth the athletes had crew cuts and the hippies had long hair. Now the athletes have long hair and the hippies are bald. "
29 " Life often is a bucket of water sitting on a farmer’s porch. Our choice is in the drinking. "
30 " Story is a butterfly whose wings transport us to another world where we receive gifts that change who we are and who we want to be. "
31 " Our stories are not new; yet, in the retelling we are reborn as heroes. "
32 " I have learned to have pride in what I do. "
33 " What I really want is to be recognized as a writer; that someday, my poetry — this is an interesting paradox — would be taught in English classes; for my name, along with my poetry, to exist 500 years from now. "
34 " Our flesh is a gift of laughter. "
35 " Hope is a rainbow of thought. "
36 " Service to others in their time of need is a privilege and an honor. "
37 " The path to success is not a straight line. "
38 " Too much has been given and too much has been lost. "
39 " Haiku does not express emotion from the inside out by displaying the mind of a character. Haiku builds the emotional thrust, makes the artistic statement from the outside in, from the physical world to the mind of the reader. "
40 " Knowing when and how to change course is important to success. Self-doubt is a lighthouse that will keep you from running aground. Don't become shipwrecked on the rocks of time. Be willing to rethink your decisions and change course. "
