That would be my challenge were I to look seriously at attempting to write poetry again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And I like what you said in #3 about pacing yourself in the whole rewriting process.

Otherwise, you'll just have a big fat mess on your hands.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640313956929464854noreply@blogger.com
