Writing Is Work

  .

It is work, writing.
Write, edit, rewrite
re-edit. Start
over. Keep what works,
cross off what
doesn't.
  
Write it the way it
comes first, then rework
it. Try a different
motif, add a motif, erase
both motifs. Forget
motifs.
.
Start another verse
keeping true to the first
two verses and the title.
Then reword it, scratch
the middle, enhance
the end, use adjectives
and better, stronger
verbs. 

  

Yeah, it's your
poem, you can change
the title. Work it!
