#2: Initial revision
To answer your questions. 1. Some famous poets have paired their poems with their own artwork [(e.g. William Blake)](http://www.blakearchive.org/copy/songsie.b?descId=songsie.b.illbk.44). 2. Most of the famous poets in textbooks don't (or at least not to the level that they would be known for both). If the work is just for yourself, then by all means continue along the path that pleases you most. If your goal is to improve, then it is possible that by spreading your efforts in trying to improve both your writing and your drawing you are hindering your progress in both. Focus on the form of expression that is most important for you. At this stage, the other should be regarded more of a tool to keep your inspiration active. This, of course, barring the case in which your figurative art **is** part of your poetry, e.g. > _Horse on a glass roof_ > > U U > > U U (\*apologies, I forgot the author, and I am not too sure about the literal translation of the title)
