Poems about poetry or love of the written word?
I am looking for poems/quotes about poetry itself or the love of writing.
I haven’t had much luck…Help!
I’m actually a poet and considering getting a tattoo of a quote or poem to reflect my deep love for the written word.
I could write it myself, but I was just wondering what was out there..

At this site, you can use the “Poetry Tool” feature to search by category. One of the available categories is “arts & sciences.” In that category, you’ll find quite a few poems about poetry.

I’m trying to do shorter ones…
“Writing a poem is discovering”
“Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls.”
“One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold”
“By words the mind is winged”
“Poetry- the best words in the best order”
“I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.”
I hope this helps!…
If I read it, I wouldn’t think this helped… but… whatever.

Seamus Heaney’s “Digging” is about writing poetry.
