So, I came to make a random post, and found LJ asking me if I wanted to retrieve a draft. Huh, I thought. Ok. And this was it:
Poetry iz hard.
Have you ever been wedded to a rhyme/turn of phrase/words so much that you cling tightly to it/them, even if you are beginning to doubt it/they work?
Do you sculpt away at the thing til it works, damn it! or scrap it and start that bit over?
Sometimes I do just have to poke at a thing over and over til it takes form. But then again
I have no idea when I wrote this and only a vague idea what it refers to. And you can see something must have interupted me (hence a auto-saved draft) because of the lack of full stop at the end.
But, actually the questions still stand. Poke at it, or scrap it?
