Temper,Temper

Frankly, I have no idea what the intent of this section is about - just thought I'd follow the lead of the guy who created the site.  As far as this poem goes, Laurie's looked to be complete.  I can't imagine appending a further stanza on something that wraps up so well.  Also, I do occasionally take other people's poems and re-write them, just as an exercise, providing there's something in them I really relate to and enjoy.  But only as an exercise.  I don't normally show anyone the results, and never think of them as my own work.  But as far as collaborating goes, I think a collaboration of re-writes passed back and forth until all parties are satisfied is just as valid as alternating stanzas, lines or haiku.  I've never really done it, but it might be interesting.  Still, who ever offers up the first draft would have to be pretty fluid with the whole process, and I can imagine a whole bunch of testy poets fuming by the end.
