Complete-Delete

Alas...for now I do tweak All of the rhymes I do seek And just so you won't peek All will be shared in a week For with my writing, you see The idea pops out rough to me I have to polish it up - to a "T" And round it out for all to see I space - then re-space All over the place Like I'm in a race Just to save my face I complete - then delete I repeat - with conceit I think I'm SO neat I repeat till I'm beat And now it's here, that time that I fear That dreaded deadline is actually here And there is no time left now to clear So I enter it fast, then grab a beer

lol. You sound a bit like me. I take forever to come up with a piece and another forever to tweak the damn thing. In the end I turn anti-clockwise three times, howl to the moon, blink five times, post it and hope for the best. Nice write, Quentin. I'm enjoying your poetry. :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoy. Your lines are more colorful and complicated, so I know you probably have more work than I. My simple mind couldn't match your complex compositions. Keep it up!
