Re-working

So now you've written the words. It looks like a poem. Not a conventional one of course, but it has lines shorter than prose and has 'soft ending' rhyme and 'echoes' of thoughts and so on. BUT it now has to be crafted.

So I sit looking at the lines, trying to make sense of the words, and of course, the meaning. Is it subtle enough? Obvious enough? Or is all I write simply thoughts that are really quite banal?

Not sure, but certainly will try again and again until I have something resembling a 'poem'.
