I discovered that writing poetry enhances the ability to do mental calculus.
I think that the analogies that are used in connotative and figurative poetic
language develops the capacity to calculate mentally without the usage
of calculators. It has been my experience that poetry writing and the use
of tropes reinforce one's capacity to add, subtract, divide, and multiply.
