Writing on Writing: One Step at a Time
Some more ideas to help you get started with revising/critique:
Start small.
If you usually write five poems a week, try to write four poems a week and revise one from a previous week.
If all you do is read over the poem one more time and consider some possible changes, that’s a start.

They Call You Mary
They Call You Mary
They call you Mary
to me you’re just Mom
I just left your side
left you at your “home”
Frailty
Darkness sometimes shudders
on the broken edges of my loneliness,
beaten back by you, by us,
from the empty shoreline of the island
that I used to be, never farther than
the next time I am gone from you.
In our garden hot in beating August sun,
hands in black soil, daylilies and black-eyed susans,
purple coneflowers all seeding,
Poetry Stream
A live stream of raw poetry, dancing before your eyes. Or sometimes sulking.
Eclipse
Once there was
a tremendous shadow,
thrown by a flaming meteor
against a foreign planet.
It rose and fell with the mountain-peaks,
tumbled across the cornfields,
swam over the oceans,
all to get to you.
And just before it hit–
you looked away.
They said so,,MY MASTER'S PIECE
My Masters PIECE…. your smile
If upon a face
I can bring a smile
I have lived a life
worth its while
LOVED
MAY READ AT YOUR DISCRETION
You all enamour me
and
blood flows
from within me,
my veins…
No stabs of conscience
No stabs of conscience
as memory, understanding and will
all work in constructive harmony;
yet the spirit’s sad gaze
looks out from the window of it’s heart
at the transcience of passing flotillas
of sleep-invoking clouds.
SUPREME IRONY (Part 1)
THE WOUNDED WARRIOR
back to the battle field for now!
