All semester long I've been fearing the revising aspect of the class.  Especially since some of what I think is my better work is in Iamb pen. or in rhyme, or other limiting forms of constriction.  It took me so long while writing them to find what I thought were the best words to fit the structure I was using, that if I try to change things would either destroy the poem as a whole or prove to be too difficult to find anything else that would fit.  I feel like regardless, he wants to see big revision and I fear that I might only be able to change a line or a word here and there.  I guess I shouldn't have been such a perfectionist in my muse writings.  I would take hours and sometimes days writing one poem.  I did a lot of revisions while creating them where now I think maybe I should have not put so much heart and effort into it and just wrote a bunch of crap.   At least then it wouldn't prove so difficult.  But we'll see how it goes.  It kinda sucks though, because I feel like I should bring my weakest poems to the workshops and portfolio where as before I wanted to put in what I thought was my better work.  Maybe, (and I don't know for sure) it won't be so hard to revise something once I get feedback from my fellow classmates.  Because I look at my poems now and I don't know what is weak or what doesn't work or needs changing.  And this is just because I'm too close to the work.  Plus being an "artist", I find that what pleases me in my own personal work is all that matters to me regardless if someone doesn't get it or like it.  I don't really care.  It's not really for anyone but me.  And it's not like I have plans to publish a poetry book or anything.  I enjoy what I create for the soul purpose of my own enjoyment.  Take it or leave it at that.
