'''Note''':
Do NOT mistake this for [[Cultured Badass]]. That trope is about a [[Badass]] with 'cultured' hobbies, this trope is about a mindset rather than hobbies. For example, a [[Cultured Badass]] can appreciate love poetry but a '''Warrior Poet''' will incorporate that poetry into his daily life and thoughts about warfare. Alternatively, a [[Cultured Badass]] can [[Blood Knight|enjoy battle for the thrill and pleasure]] while a '''Warrior Poet''' will [[Don't Think, Feel|espouse something more mystical and/or spiritual]]. Read both descriptions if you need to.
