Riiight... I should read titles. :D It's a different read when there's a topic to link it too, even though the statement leaves me more baffled than the poetry itself. Truth is a better represented truth? More visual? Easier to perceive? Interesting stuff...
I get what you're saying. Physically having the top of my head taken off sounds like a rather painful event to me though, rather the opposite of what I feel when I write. Mentally having the top of my head taken off, now that would make sense, being able to let my mind flow freely, vent, blank out.

I've never felt physically as if the top of my head was taken off. How about you? :/
Wonder which quotes you wrote about above?

haha, it's in the title, cyber!! :D
I think that's the most interesting one. It's an exaggeration, but I know what she's talking about. The process of poetry is conjuring feelings. The best poetry seems to flow from your heart almost unconsciously. It's not something you think about and so it's no longer about your head. Your on a heart to hand auto pilot.
I try to get that, but it's rarely that I do. You have to be soaked with feelings and have all the words to describe it at whim.
