Poem ReduxEntry #670537
Ever have one of those poems that you thought would get more attention, but just sits there in your port collecting dust? I've decided to take the advice of another member animatqua and post an abridged version of my epic poem "Heart To Pilot". The redux debuts today:

Weather Beaten 
Vivid metaphorical dream of something too far out of reach.
by Always & Forever


I won't post the original here for now. The new version needs a chance to spawn on its own. If it doesn't draw much attention, then I'll just have to go on admiring the original and how I was inspired to write it.

Lately, I've wanted to rewrite many of my older works. There's always that feeling something resides in the expression of a work that just needs more polishing to make it shine. Some poems I tried too hard to rewrite, got too verbose and ruined them. Then, went back to the original as with "Before I'm Rejected By You" and found the simpler the better.

You just never know with these things. It's not like I'm a great poet. I'm just obsessed with perfection and find myself spinning my wheels on stuff I should have given up on hours ago. Now, I need to stop obsessing over this blog post and just hit 'save entry' and move on with my day. *Laugh*

Yes, good. Done for now,

~ Brian
