Under the influence
Blake
Anger with
friends and foes
Plath
Lady Lazarus
rising from ashes
Cope
Hating you
all the while
Today’s optional prompt asks to think about your own inspirations and forebears (whether literary or otherwise). Specifically we're challenged today to write a poem that deals with the poems, poets, and other people who inspired you to write poems. These could be poems/poets/poeple that you strive to be like, or even poems, poets, and people that you strive not to be like. There are as many ways to go with this prompt as there are ways to be inspired.
The first three poets that popped into my mind were William Blake, Sylvia Plath and Wendy Cope.
