Edit Edit Edit
Start with the first line -
no,
start at the first word;
the human brain is not equipped
to produce brilliant ‘first words.’
Consider ditching it
and its associated adjectives,
trust me there will be adjectives,
if not controlled
they will breed like rabbits.
Imagine you only have
$5 of original things to say,
be economical, for if you overspend
the poem may go bankrupt before the end.
Run it through a spell check – twice.
Send it out upon the internet
with a light heart.
Some poets will already know
what will happen next –
crickets.
