I write regularly, and I call it poetry. I write 3 to 4 nights a week while I'm out.

I've also participated in slams and open mics. There is some poetry I'm just like meh on. It's like I don't like country it's just not my tune.

I didnt really get into it till I saw a guy perform at a slam. The inflection of his voice, body posture, it was close to rapping in a way. There was just a palpable fire. But I won't read others poetry, ill gladly listen. Poetry is best seeing the missing element the author left off the page.

I feel my writing is very cold. Being an aspie my emotions are very distant. So my writing comes off cold and logical. Instead of math i rely heavily on mythology Greek, Nordic, Roman, and enochian. Then will also drop to Latin at times.

Listening to people perform. It's often in a similar bar, and phrasing. Which makes sense they've crafted a tool set. Then are crafting new ideas with it.



If you don't mind my asking, where did you see this person perform, and what topics of poetry did they speak upon that inspired you to begin writing?
