I find there's at least a little bit of a poem that I'll keep liking, even if it's just the idea of it that I've been unsuccessful with, there was some reason I wrote. I usually can't tell if it's something to keep working on unless I post it. I am always ready for the response to be "There's nothing here to even work on", in which case I've lost nothing, I've never claimed to be anyone other that someone who enjoys trying to write a poem. But usually at least some member of the Pen will find at least one word or phrase or line or stanza or idea that appeals to them and it gives me a focus.

Nothing wrong with posting crap for people who are in the same situation, for the best of us occasionally, but for many of us often. I never delete anything, I just abandon it I can't make it work, maybe next year it will come to life.
