Changing peoples poems.

[lizzyrose12]

I've had my poetry changed many, many, many times before and I know I should accept it but I will be honest: I don't like it. In my opinion you shouldn't read someones poem and change their lines in anyway except for grammar, I'll explain why: Sometimes we feel like the poet needs more fancy words and better descriptions of emotion in their poem. But what people don't realize is, you can't feel exactly what that poet is feeling when they wrote it, so changing it may change the whole emotion. I never will edit anyone elses poems with my own words, for I myself find it extremely insulting.
