You're The Poet In My Heart

Jim Morrison wasn't just the erratic front man of The Doors.  He was also a poet.  "I kept a lot of notebooks through high school and college, and then when I left school, for some dumb reason-maybe it was wise-I threw them all away...I wrote in those books night after night.  But maybe if I'd never thrown them away, I'd never have written anything original-because they were mainly accumulations of things that I'd read or heard, like quotes from books.  I think if I'd never gotten rid of them I'd never been free."  Jim Morrison's poetry is so heavy and avant garde and very inspiring.  I'm a big fan of his writing. Jim Morrison was one of a kind and there will never be another poet as prodigious as he was. I own books volumes 1 and 2 of his writings: Wilderness and The American Night.  Here are some poems I dig.
