Additionally, I found it fascinating how meaning slipped into my poem. Originally, my poem began as a simple poem about driving as a right of passage but it began to grasp more emotional meaning with each revision Seeing this transition from junk to something more successful with evident signs of emotions.
Lastly, I never gave enough respect to poetry; I would hear about poetry and think of it jokingly but I now I see the hard work and dedication required for poetry. We went through only a few drafts and it was a long painful process. A poet would have to go through many more drafts to create the masterpieces they create.
