That's true; my poems often start out a bit empty or childlike, with big images or word-games as 'placeholders' for emotion. After that I usually think a long time about the emotional implications of the images (in this case, what interests me is that people sometimes consciously put themselves in danger for an extreme (sonic) experience). This can take weeks or months even, and then I usually rewrite the whole thing - often there's hardly a trace left of the original poem.

This is probably more a subject for Poetry Discussion, but I'm curious if anyone recognizes this writing process?

No, it doesn't have an emotional core, but fun read still isn't a bad place to build from.
