i think most of the stuff i post is done and done but...and this is a big but....i know it isn't.
if i new my poetry was beyond reproach i wouldn't be posting it in a forum for feedback (as a rule) sadly i'm not yet at that level. i do appreciate the better able poet who can post a poem that needs little or no edit.
i think both of you are right. sometimes it's the not so good poems that show us the ins and outs of poetry and feedback; how to write both and accept the last. fear is the enemy
and while it's good to stick a poem in a drawer for a long time, they should be taken out now and again and put out there with an edit.
i'm also with leanne that sometimes saving a line or two is all we can do with some poems. it's like doing a heart transplant when you think of it
hat's off to todd for putting his so called inferior poems up and shaming us
if i had any that i hadn't already posted i'd put them up in the same vein. the only ones i have left are very person ones, that basically belong to my partner, they're pretty shitty really but she loves em :blushes:
