if i get feedback and i see it's obvious merit, i'm fine with a quick edit, after that; and for a more in depth edit if warranted, i'll leave it at least a week or so. after a while newbs get to see things like cliche and missing rhymes and bad syntax themselves and tend to sin less in those areas. for me a good rule of thumb is this, if most pick up on a point in the poem, be it a good point or bad, they'll probably be nearer the truth than an odd naysayer...not all the time of course but more often than not. if someone leaves a suggestion on a re wording to to syntax or excess wordage, take heed, if you like how it works; either use the suggestion or write in a similar way [no accreditation needed] in general we just say ' thanks to those who gave imput'
at days end you the poet are the boss, though always be of a mind that the best bosses are able to take and use advice as needed and discard advice when unnecessary
it all comes with practice, i sort of get the feeling you'll do okay
