Poem: The Editing Process
Scribbles on paper
marks on a screen
backlit by white
letters in black
Arranged by date
title and draft
art in jpegs
gifs with hard "g"
Moving items to and fro
does it look better here?
before positioning it back
where it was the first time.
Some poems on scraps
of paper from years back
others electronic muses
presided by iPad angels
First draft, second draft, third
still not exactly perfect
tweak things here and there
until it all comes together.
Until it all becomes one
nights spent piecing together
this that and the next
for others to read and enjoy.
