Imagining Disaster, previously "Stuck," edit 1

[Lizzie]

Don't worry, it blends right into the stink of the rest of us. The reek of the pen may be sweat and brain farts but it beats the stale, deodorized odor of fear of exposure on some other sites. Breathe deep.

I love this response! I wrote it in my notebook so I don't forget!

It was a decent attempt, workshoppable. I think you're being too hard on yourself.

I'm glad you think so. I've got a couple of ideas I'm kicking around for it -- I'll probably try again in a month or so. I'm going to let things settle a bit.

Lizz,

This poem was not an insult by any round of critique. It's gained the attention, it's gained, because people like it; because I liked it. Nothing any us write is flawless or without some room for revision. The best poets are edited; the best revise. I honestly enjoyed reading it and only wanted to help in the revision process. Don't be so hard on yourself, really.

Good work Lizz,

Luna

Thank you. Yes, it is a good reminder that even the best need revision. I appreciate your comments on the piece and for coming back to it!
