Editing

I have an editor working with me on my poems again. BW, who digs, suggests, comments and draws out the best. 

I now re-look at each poem with new, perhaps 'cleaner' eyes and wonder why [and how] I did not see what he has suggested myself! [Left brain kicks in]. 

It is most challenging for both of us as we are communicating via e-mail. However we're managing and hopefully I will have a few poems to be delighted with after a few months or so.

I tend to read B's comments very quickly - usually agreeing with them and then set the poem aside for a while to work on it again a few days later. So far it's working for the better. Let's hope it continues. I see a mail has just arrived - maybe more poems to re-create.
