As usual, I say: both. You need heart and mind -- as well as a little nerve, guts, and a funny bone.

Agree 100% with the funny bone. You also might want thick skin for rejections, such as the times online submissions are deleted without being read. This has happened to me twice in the last year.
Peter,
My apologies if my original comment offended. That was certainly not my intent, though I assume from its absence that it did.
Again, my apologies.
And to try and add something less "meta", Wordsworth wrote that poetry is "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling recollected in tranquility."
Folks tend to latch onto the first phrase and ignore the second which, arguably, is where the mind (and the art) come in.
Thx Ron.
No worries.
