^Depends on your perspective i guess. But overall you can drown much more easily in open mic (rap in general) than you can in poetry.

Though, like you said, it is just as hard to write a piece of poetry than a piece of open mic too. But that's much more the case at 'higher' level. And much less so on the lower levels.

But that also depends on bluntness and brutality on circle of people reading your pieces.

It's all good though. Especially as we're straying further and further away from Twizzle's actual piece (well, kind of anyway..)..
