Which is more important?

[rowens]

I don't think that capturing a moment or situation out of life is all that important. Writing from moment inspiration isn't very important.
And I think that the subject breeds the form. Writing from life, invented situations or impossible situations. That's what life is made of.
Somebody can decide to write a series of sonnets on different subjects, skillfully working each subject into that form. I wouldn't do that, though I might one day. I don't care enough about poetry to do that.
For me, the subject always works out its own form and whatever techniques and poetic devices through the process of writing. The inspiration of the poem and its form or lack of form come at the same moment and it starts evolving. I simply write.
I don't know what poetry is till I'm finished. I try to forget about other poems, though sometimes I keep a few in mind. I never know what poetry is until I see it. I write and revise till I'm finished.
Then I think about poetry more, and I revise more or I don't. It depends.
I don't care about what poetry is, or what other people say and know about poetry. Not until I'm finished writing and revising.
Then I think about what they say, and I take it all into consideration until I make another poem.
