By the time I finished it, I threw most of the original away. Billy Collins has an awfully good poem, can't remember the name, about poetry students. You have to beat it about the head and shoulders to turn it into a poem. Then again, it's easy to loose the initial inspiration, so always save copies until you think you have it, then throw them away or you'll revise it forever. </span></p> </div></div></div> Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:55:06 +0000 Oxy Mora comment 149481 at http://dagblog.com http://dagblog.com/comment/149479#comment-149479 <a id="comment-149479"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/arts/70th-september-birthday-vermont-13034">70th September birthday in Vermont</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Wow.  I wish I could write like this.  Beautiful, Oxy. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:20:14 +0000 LisB comment 149479 at http://dagblog.com http://dagblog.com/comment/149475#comment-149475 <a id="comment-149475"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/149469#comment-149469">Good poem.
