A Poet's Creed Analysis

This is what we interpreted from Borge's "A Poet's Creed":

• Each poet has their own creed
• Reading is more important than writing
• Language is music
• Everyone has a moment when they realize who they are
• Feeling is more important than thinking in poetry
• Metaphor is an essential element of literature
• A writer must make many mistakes before they can write well
• Prose is harder to write than verse
• Everyone is modern
• Being a writer means being true to your imagination
• Beauty is eternal
• The reader is an important part of literature
• Meaning is not important, only the experience of the reader
