I've been listening to Eminem lately. Not while writing -- wayyy too demanding -- but boy is he way better than anything in the modern poetry section. The internal rhymes in e.g. "Lose Yourself," the way the rhythm slows and speeds within a line, all the while building the arc of the song.
Write a screenplay like that. Rhymes and callbacks where you're not expecting them. Intensity, breath, intensity, all within a scene. Wayyy better than writing your screenplay in 4/4 time.
