Mansour of Semita Errabunda, and again tCatC, introduce a variant of Enchanting Music: Enchanting Poetry, that basically works with a language ability (say, Speak Arabic) instead of a musical performance ability (say, Sing). I was just wondering: if you put your verses in writing, would the ability affect the reader?
I'd say no.
Simply put... Shakespeare when read is completely different when performed by competent actors, which is completely different when performed by The Royal Shakespeare company.
