Using critique

[Merrikay]

Thanks, those are interesting!

On the subject of editing, and the emphasis on taking time with it..

Am I revising too much? I can see how horrible my poetry is, and with critique that I've received
(Thank you all so much btw) where I am still so new, feel like applying what I just learned can make a huge difference in the writing. I'm sure I'll be coming back to these in weeks/months years..ahead, but if I know I can make it better than it was right now, should I be waiting and just applying that new knowledge to future poetry? I read something along those lines in the editing thread...
