He also wrote poetry

One of the interesting facts about Bruce Lee is that in addition to martial arts or acting, he also writes poetry. Lee creates poetry that expresses his feelings and a time in his life in addition to practicing martial arts and philosophy, emphasizing the physical component and being cognizant of truth and principle. For the artist who created them, many types of art are still important today. Lee applies the idea of self-expression to his poems as well. He created poems; in the words of Shannon Lee, his daughter, "He was genuinely an excellent artist." His poetry was first written by hand on paper, edited, and then published. John Little served as Bruce Lee's primary author and editor. Bruce Lee's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell, made her husband's notes, poems, and experiences available to followers. According to American standards, Lee's poems are "very gloomy" and "represent the deeper, less transparent portions of the human psyche," she said.

The majority of Bruce's poems fall under the counter-poetry or paradoxical categories. His poetry displays a side of himself that is comparable to other poets like Robert Frost, one of many well-known writers that express themselves through somber poetry. He also integrated the paradox found in the martial arts symbol of Yin and Yang into his poetry. His poetry greatly benefits from the martial arts and beliefs he practices. Lee's poetry is written in free verse, which echoes his well-known adage, "Be invisible...invisible, like water."
