Writing better Lyrics

Lyric writing is an ever changing process for me.     I have started doing a lot of research on how to develop a good lyric.    The the I am finding the most important is to tell the story as descriptively as you can.    The old process was to leave a lot to the imagination but today's music is screaming for you to be more specific and actually paint the picture for the listener.     The most important word int he sentence is always the verb so work really hard to stay away from the old standby's and come up with something that delivers a real punch.    Happy writing and good luck to all of you!
