Revisions!  

Posted by Jamal Peterson

        So I started revising the second poem that I read in class and I'm having a lot of trouble. I've gotten so many great ideas from the critiques and the problem is trying to incorporate them all in my piece. And let's not forget the rules of revision given to us in class. It's just all so much to do in a poem in my opinion. In fact, the main thing that is making revisions so difficult is trying to transform a muse write in a solid piece (Well at least in my opinion).I guess I just got to let it come to me and not try to rush it. Hopefully it'll get better as I move on to piece to piece. I honestly didn't know that revising would of been so hard! This may in fact be the hardest part in creating a great piece.

I have not started my revision yet, but I will be soon! But, I am worried as well. Although the workshops have been helpful it sometimes hard to incorporate those great ideas into your poem! I feel like sometimes you just have to let go and go with their ideas and just see where it takes you if that makes any sense.

I am in the same boat as you, I think my problem is that while muse writing, I just get lost in thought. Then when I go back and try to revise, I don't remember what I was trying to get at in the piece at a previous time. I am hoping doing it more and continued practice will help me gather my ideas and express them in a good poem.
