One thing that you might be missing is the expressive power of the sequence handling functions (everything under sequences here: http://clojure.org/cheatsheet ). I found it very useful to follow a few other users in 4clojure [1] which allowed me to compare different styles in their solutions while I was solving the problems. In many cases I was humbled by discovering a half-line solution when I my solution was 5-6 lines! So there is some poetry there I think.
