This is going to sound super corny but there is no reason why you can't write like that! If you like the lyrics of Pink Floyd, why not try to mirror one of their songs in your own words, condensing/trimming it into a poem? You won't be able to necessarily label that as "your own" work, but it'll give you the framework towards how to do it and stuff. The best way to get better at ANYTHING to me is to practice but also observe professionals/people you idol. If you're trying to get great at basketball, you don't watch local YMCA basketball games and attempt to emulate their moves-- you watch superstars and strive to be like them. You have some great inspiration and taste, use it.
