Eric Ludy More Quotes by Eric Ludy More Quotes From Eric Ludy A true poet is more than just a man who can write a poem with a pen. A true poet writes poetry with his very life.

Just as a true warrior is not a conqueror of femininity but a protector of femininity, a true poet is not just a wooer of a woman's heart but one who knows how to nurture and plant love in a woman's heart.
