This is your Best Poem!
Ideas, ideals and insights ... beautiful contrasts!
Is it cheating to edit?
You're lucky I don't know where you live. If you haven't edited in 10 times (at a bare minimum) then you shouldn't be hitting "Post."
Editing is so important that I require being in a different frame-of-mind (than that in which I wrote the poem) to do it.
Great poem.
It was the easiest write. I think because I referenced my own perspective. When I try to create something fictional or try to write from another perspective rather than broadcast my emotions, I get completely stuck.
I then attempt to compensate by hitting the thesaurus, and all I have is a few meaningless conceited sentences.
That is what happened with this, I ditched the piece I had, then just typed this into my phone while my family watched TV, and hit post.
