Double smack!
A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.
Salman Rushdie
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau
Hit me with a few lines of poetry that have always made you blow your intellectual or emotional load...

Kiss
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.
Out of the window perilously spread
Her drying combinations touched by the sun's last rays,
On the divan are piled (at night her bed)
Stockings, slippers, camisoles, and stays.
T.S. Eliot
