poetry with zero replies

[Leanne]

I love to see revisions listed in the same post as the original piece so that I can watch the editing process unfold and, in doing so, find out more about the writer's thought processes. Having said that, I do think it's a crying shame when revised poems aren't commented on further -- I don't think that's anyone's fault, because as you say it might already look like it's been commented on enough (when is enough? I'd love to think that if there's something left to say, it would be said no matter how many have gone before... but that's probably not realistic). I do know that changing the original post doesn't move the thread back up the order -- to do this you need to put a comment on it. I wonder if we might start adding a comment like "revised (date) -- please comment on edited version"?
