Editing 2 Perception

Hello lovely Covers

Want to thank @nicki for inspiration.

Hope you all have a lovely Saturday so far.

As you can see the title,once again,its about editing,however,more about what I learn throughout my studies.

Biggest takeaway is to be more cognizant on how the reader reads the poem out loud.

I do fall into trap of writing for performance.

Actually,poems are made to be read out loud.

However,if it's for a publish work,a poem in public domain has to be kept with reader in mind.Unless your doing a poetry series that involves a deadline(I have a title in mind that I won't say),keep the reader in mind.

Also,just because it makes sense to you,doesn't mean it will makes sense to the reader.Now,if there are five readers telling you the same thing,make note of it and go back to drawing board.As you do have the final say in what goes into finish product after all.Finally,editing makes you a professional.

Don't get me wrong,insta poetry and blank statements do have a place.But how often do we read our work with our own perception and think what we created was marvelous?

However,when people read our work,they're confuse?Have we been only publishing works by just a first draft?

Maybe.However,this all depends on what kind of poet you want to become.An insta poet with first drafts or professional poet with three drafts?Could be vise versa as well,as this comes down to poet.They

both have their place,so go on a camping trip either challenging or enjoyment.

Now I must take a step down and go back to the future.

Side note:Brokeback Mountain,
