I've pruned one or two words off the side of some of my poems over the last three months.
I took out of actuality from the ingrown toenail line of this poem.
Of actuality makes sense in the context of what I'm saying in the poem, but what makes sense to the writer of the poem is not always best for the poem.
Crown and nail are enough.
Royalty and ingrown nails are implicit in the very definition of implicity. According to the redline, implicity isn't a word. Well,
now
it is.
Sometimes you need linebreaks to christen a
well
,that depends,
on What your poetic license has on its plate.
A blueprint is a scheme, an accepted reality. A highlight is what is or what keeps coming up whether or not about what is but what is experienced in that highlight
in this case, a cousin of what is, which is something, otherwise there would be no relevance of a ghost of it.
