Revise

Do you out there in the darkness revise your work? I usually do Rhyme once rules Not in these days Some prefer the old style of poetry Some enjoy modern work Some like poetry of their ethnic group Like some like novels of their ethnic group I have read work of other ethnic groups Or not? I know some Hebrew, a few phrases in Mandarin and a liitle Spanish Do poets writing in these languages revise or rhyme? Some probably do - some don't Make up your own mind about that poets!

I have nothing to make my mind up about. I love any kind of poem as long as it is well written and interesting to me. I try to write in many forms but metered poetry is more natural for me. If a poet takes great thought each time he sits down to write, I feel revisions are not going to be so likely. Especially writing to rules of forms. You write the lines the best you can within the limits of the form and then after that, revision , at least for me, is rare.
