I think poems can be "done", but they are seldom close to perfect. I have some that I've tweaked off and on for ten to fifteen years. The best I can say is that when they're done, they're as perfect as I can make them. Over time, hopefully I'm improving and by revisiting them I can make them more perfect.
That's why seeing flaws in what you write should be an encouragement to you and not a disappointment. You're improving.
