A Poem's a Process

Think, plan, scheme, devise
 Write, read, review, revise

Sit, wait, reread, reflect,
  Insert, delete, keep, reject

Rethink, rewrite, reorganize
  Snip, cut, paste, prioritize

A poem's a process of many a step
  From that very first 'No' to that final 'Yep!'

Oh my goodness, I know exactly what you are talking about :-)! As a matter of fact, I have quite a few unfinished pieces that I go back to periodically to see if I can complete them - but alas, they are still "works in progress!" LOL! I love how you put all this together in such a wonderful rhyming piece! Hugs. Pandita
