revision issues

i recently starting getting all of my work together for the portfolio. in this process i began, or at least tried, to revise some of my work. by doing this, i found that i absolutely hate revising my poems. i do understand that sometimes changes do need to be made to better some of the poems but most of the time i enjoy my poems the way they come out the first time. i write them for me and feel like they turned out how they are for a reason, whether it was due to my emotional issues that day or just me being random and shaping the poem differently. i like them how they are and i'm struggling to revise them. i wonder if anyone else is having this problem?

  1. Yea I was having the same problem, I found that the only really good revision I got done was from workshop. Other than that I have trouble seeing the problems in my poems, I mean I wrote them so I think they are pretty much good the way they are. It isnt until someone actually points out that this part sucks that I realize "oh hey haha it actually does".
