That is a really good question. One I'm ...Cindy...<br /><br />That is a really good question. One I'm not sure I can give a definative answer to. I have stuff that has been in the process for in excess of a year. There have been things that have come together quickly. The one that was the focus of this post - in terms of days has not really been that long. However, there have been significant periods of time within those days spent on it. That is really more unusual for me. <br /><br />I will often work on two or more poems in a days time. This one I spent between three and four hours in one setting on Saturday along. <br /><br />I recall it taking me over eight months to write a poem that finally said what I wanted it to about baseball ment to me and that is one I have never submitted anywhere. <br /><br />Don't have an answer for why, but sometimes I have works that slide out of the pen as if it were greased and others that (pardon the expression from a male) but I think are a bit like like long labors. *my disclamer to that statement is that I have at least been present at the birth of all four of my children. <br /><br />Another note would be that I have taken poems that I have submitted and rewoked them again later. Are poems ever really finished? ;)Michael A.
