I catch inspiration from other writers; not unlike a runaway wildfire.

Poets set their hearts on fire

As a conflagration ever travels to find fuel,
And though the first fire starter could be thought of as a fool;
I would gladly step upon your hearts own smoking funeral-pyre,
For it is common knowledge, poets set their hearts on fire.
