I'm going to revise it though. I'm going to discard most of it, but not all of itthat you "worked on it" is very rewarding to me and probably others here. it shows commitment and the wanting to improve. for some of us, doing a decent sonnet takes a life timeand I spent a month with Mercedes working on the sonnet. It took me awhile to get the hang of meter and now that I've gotten better with it, it's time to make another Phoenix rise from some ashes. By easy, I just meant don't call it trashy or anything. Good, honest feedback is important to me.
looking forward to the edit.
a suggestion is to start out with as simple a poem (sonnet or whatever other form you're working on) as you can get away with. after that, expand to be more refined and ambitious.
