How do you know when a poem is finished?
A poem is finished when the words start to click. I’m a big fan of the good old circle ending, so I sometimes plan ahead, but that doesn’t always work out. Some poems are written by just writing until I run out of words. Others are written with careful planning. And then there are some that just naturally come to a conclusion. I like to draw back to certain points in the poem and end it by almost summarising, so it reads almost like an essay.
