Bob and Judy
I first thought in my heart that what Judy has suggested is going to make it cliched.But I did not voice it out.Now I see how a co-poet also partakes in the formation and completion of a poem. I am learning from these workshops.
Thanks

Re: Beethoven Dying
Your revision is sparse and crisp. I see how you have taken 'some' of the suggestions and worked on this draft. Now I suppose you can call it a poem.
