When I was in college I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans.
If you're working out and taking care of your body you don't really want the greasy food that makes you feel tired or blah. You actually crave the good stuff!
Slowly poetry becomes visual because it paints images but it is also musical: it unites two arts into one.
