The Question I Posed ….

 

If your Poem is still

an open wound

 

And you stitch it tight

with editing

 

How…

will it ever bleed free?

The Actual Poem ….

 

 

            For All To Share

 

My Poem still an open wound,

unstitched by edits snare

 

Running free on a salted page,

—new blood for all to share

    Editing is like pouring salt into an open wound. -------Bleeding can lead to death but more intimate is someone pouring their heart out and you kill them. We often close the book on ideas that should best be left open, so that others can learn. -------well, that's what beautifully crafted poem said to me.
