Why was Jim Morrison such a great Poet?

Question

I love his music, and many of his poems. But how do you think he came up with them all? Drugs, love, thought?

Answer 1

Drugs probably, but if you look to his music, you could decipher that he was looking for Love, not lovin', but love.

Drugs like pot put you into a state of mind where your thoughts are cleared and thinking becomes easy.  This would suggest that many of his poems and songs came to him from thinking, with some help from drugs.

That is what I think.

Answer 2

Cuz he's Jim Morrison!

And he probably writes from experience.

Hopefully.

God, I Love The Doors.

Answer 3

Jim Morrison had really tight black leather trousers. People who get excited by men's bottoms think Jim Morrison was talented.

Answer 4

drugs

Answer 5

Well he went to college and read the poetic work's of william blake and I am sure the influences of psychedelic compound's gave rise to some of the imagery And poetic guise that made up his song's along with the turmoil of the sixties the love, violence, and the thought of being free.

All this along with other people that were trying to create a new way of life and change from the old way's of a generation considered bound in ignorance.

So what I am saying here is it was a combination of everything Schooling to Drug's to the Times that made Jim Morrison's poem's considered great.
