How do you know when a poem is finished?
I’m not really sure how to describe it but it’s a feeling I get. Kind of like the final puzzle piece clicking into place, or when you’ve rearranged your books and found the best arrangement. It’s the “aha!” moment that I know the poem is done. Some poems I write never get this moment so they stay in the “revised” file the rest of their lives. The ones that reach this moment go on submission.
