I finally understand why Writing people care about poetry
I tried this in Mumbai with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. poetry got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 7 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
