I think what has been seemingly difficult for me when learning about revising this week has to be the idea of turning you works into something more concrete and less abstract. When I think of poetry I think of writing for oneself and being able to voice what ever you may be feeling. When the point was made that poetry is about feelings but you have to write for the reader to understand, it made a little more sense. I just feel like whenever I attempt to make something more concrete it just seems so forced, it doesn’t sound as pretty as the adjectives and emotions that I initially displayed, but I guess that all comes with practice. I know this is random from my tangent but I just wanted to note how much I hated the reaction responses. I hated that the word limit was 250 words, it made the reactions less genuine and I felt as if I had to pull something out of thin air to meet the requirement.
