<br>Muses: I randomly go through the encyclopedia to find a muse.
<br>Poetic Philosophy: I like writing, so I do. I would also like to add that since poetry is a form of communication it should be done in language that everyone can understand. I don't mean that we should come up with a universal language for the world. I mean that within the English language a poet should use words which most people can understand so that a reader won't require an interpreter or commentary. I also believe that poetry is an art form and should have structure, especially meter, like all art forms have structure. Who ever heard of a song with beats just scattered wherever they may fall? It is the same for poetry.</p></font></div>
