ahem....i don't normally read poetry outside of song lyrics, to be honest. but my favorite lyricists are angelo moore, kendall jones, mike burkett, E from the eels, but i dunno if you could really say that stuff influences me...i don't think i have the ability to communicate nearly as well as they do with poetry...i write more to write because i get a rhyme or an idea in my head and i end up elaborating on it. normally takes me a couple minutes to write out....but i'm writing one right now that i'm writing more stanza by stanza, line by line and taking my time with it....it's not that good, though...more introspective and that kind of stuff.
