Hell, yes! This is how I learned to write song lyrics and better prose. This method used to be a regular part of the U.S. educational system until they started to dumb things down in the early 1900's.

This method also helped a friend of mine write excellent parody songs, like "I Snort The Line," "Butt Scootin' Boogie," "Grandma Got Bent Over By A Reindeer," and many others.

I recently saw Leonard Cohen published a book called The Flame. It seems to be a compilation of poetry, lyrics, and drawings. I just bought a copy for my library, but it hasn't come in yet. If you don't know, Leonard Cohen is a singer/songwriter.

Hey there!

I just wrote an audio book/kindle on songwriting and performing. I teach in the L.A. area. May be worth a look. http://www.amazon.com/You-Want-Rock-Roll-Star-ebook/dp/B00I8DEZ48/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1391529756&sr=8-16&keywords=marc+platt
