Lastly, never feel so attached to your own words that you are above revision. All good literature of any genre' must be thoroughly edited. Sometimes we must even part with a favored word or phrase when it is the overall poem's best interest. Sooner or later it must be about the poem and not about our need to verbalize. Finding the balance between the poet's personal needs and the reader's expectations is a task everyone who has ever written poetry had faced.
Good poetry requires a balancing of talent, study and skill to craft a poem.
