As a software engineer who occasionally writes poetry, I strongly agree with this. Going back and forth (between the "logical" and "creative" sides) feels healthy - kind of like switching between standing and sitting at a desk - once you've done one for a while, the other feels good. Here's one of my poems: What's my great fear? I'll tell you; come near. To lay down in death with so much left. Passion not spent - Oh cowardly regret! For fear of others? The thousand deaths. I'm afraid to die With no twinkle in my eye To pass meagerly by Yet hidden inside. To walk through life Not truly alive And to pass in the night With an unfelt "goodbye".
