What I have Learned in this class

I have learned a lot in this class. I have learned that revision is a necessary tool for any poet and any writer. I used to absolutely hate to revise a poem or even a paper. But I have gotten the chance to grow in that area because of this class.
What I find when I am writing and revising is that I at times will revise a poem many times before I am satisfied with it. I like to please those critiquing it so that might be why. But, it is teaching me to revise my work. It has shown me that it is perfectly okay to struggle with how to reword things, but it also teaches how to use other words to describe something without coming completely forward with it. I have learned also to add more imagery to my works to allow the reader to see what I can see in my head. I learned that it is sometimes better to get too wordy and cut some of the words out than not have enough words.
