Inspiration

It's hard to tag or show the ones

      who've had influence profound,

The guys who have inspired me

      Are sadly no longer around.

First we're going to start with who?

      The master of rhyme!

             I'd introduce Dr. Seuss but

If you don't know him then you're blind.

His books have been there with me

     Since I was just a child

          Now I'll read them secretly

                 When I feel a little wild.

Another heavy influence

     on the poems that I make

Is none other than the classic 

     beloved poet, William Blake

People thought he was nuts 

      when he was alive

If not for the Tyger, 

      I don't think I'd have much drive.

Writing inspiration comes from 

        many other sources too

But my poems get their influence from                      William Blake and Dr Seuss.
