My original was something I had been working on for awhile... I rarely put a poem out that I do not feel is complete unless I am specifically looking for some help. I usually start by just writing down what I want and then rearranging the pieces and words like a puzzle. Sometimes I take out all the adverbs or adjectives... or change a certain word. And now I know all writers may not agree with me but what usually happens is I re-read it and suddenly it is just a really good poem. I usually  don't think about whether I feel something or not during the writing process,although something usually sets me off on a particular topic... I want the reader to feel it when the poem is done. In this case I know I had been mad about something,but I had held onto this so long I actually forgot what it was. Anyway this was a good piece for collaboration central!
