I would be paying myself a compliment to tell who I feel my writing most resembles, whether poetry or prose. Instead, I prefer to allow others to make the comparisons.

It is as if we engross our souls in a deep profound artificial of thoughts we build it by our souls, we are likely to someone ignoring himself nonchalant to what happened beside as if someone have had a nap then when he feel involuntary as if something tickling his body, he is then at a moment of consciousness.
Sometimes he imagines himself that he took a shape or a character of someone belonged to dated history still on his mind as a result of reading.
As I think no one of us could stick himself for one person he took into his consideration but he mixed his thoughts up from this and that or from his own as to applying the best he is desired for.

Copy-and-paste some of your writing in there, and apparently it'll tell you who your writing resembles. Apparently, my latest thesis chapter looks like it was penned by David Foster Wallace.

I thank you for posting the link. I don't think the results are especially useful, but it is fun anyway. I tried a number pieces and gor results from H. P. Lovecraft to Gertrude Stein with a pair of Isaac Asimov and even Vladimir Nabokov.

I put your poem "Delicate" into the analyser, and the result is that you write like Stephen King. You might want to try a few others.

What! He should be more than proud at that. It suggests that his writing is better than most people credit it as being.

Well, he is popular...

I copied a large chunk of a horror novella I'm writing, supposedly in the style of Poe and Lovecraft, and it came back as Lewis Carroll... hmm...

I fed in four very different sections of my Pro Bono Publico and in each case it came up with H.P.Lovecraft and, although I have never read anything by him, I was impressed with the consistency of the analysis until I thought I would give it one more extract and it came up with J.K. Rowling.

Feeding in a short story of mine it came up with Ernest Hemingway, which was pretty good as it does have a Hemingwayesque slant to the story.

Another of my novels was all over the place with Daniel Defoe, Kurt Vonnegut and Mario Puzo.

[YesNo]

I put the quote by George Bush that Emil uses in his signature into the analyzer and got Cory Doctorow.

Modern English has been since about 1550 CE.

[cacian]

Modern English has been since about 1550 CE.

1550? modern? modern classics??
could modern compare itself with not enough time behind it??

How much time behind it would be enough?

But English stopped being Middle and started being Modern around 1550. Would you like it to be older?

I will blog on modernity another day.

I tried some pieces and got Oscar Wilde twice, Vladimir Nabokov and James Fenimore Cooper.

And I tried writing by
E.A. Poe- E.A.Poe
Walter Pater- H.P. Lovecraft
A critic in Pall Mall-H.P. Lovecraft
De Profundis- Oscar Wilde
Andre Breton- James Joyce
Keats- William Shakespeare
Shelley's letters- Mary Shelley
Interesting!

Fascinating. You know, even in the ones it gets wrong, there's something weirdly appropriate in the answer it gives...

[Poetaster]

James Joyce or Stephen King for me ... weird. :/
