The following questions about my poem

The following questions about my poem "Petidiendroom" is a stage sent to me by the webmaster of Versindaba, but was never published in that forum, because loft store of artistic differences. When I recently come across this, I thought it might be interesting for lovers of poetry, & also for those (like myself) who are always interested in writers' secret factory. I have edited & places expanded to its current form. One. When you wrote this poem. How did it arise? I dreamed the poem. It's something that quite often happens to me. If the poem is short enough, I will start working in the dark on my phone key, otherwise the bedside lamp I sit down & write it down in a moleskin notebook that I keep next to the bed. The next day I will as soon as possible to work while the dream is still fresh in my memory. This poem I wrote down on Feb. 25, 2003. I update everything. loft store If I to interrupt an entire loft store day writing a poem worked, or maybe a few hours uninterrupted to be reworked & carpentry, I will by any change the time & date to write, loft store so I if necessary chronology reconstruct . The poems that I find in dreams, loft store is often close to complete because they mostly loft store short, & I have a dream to start their work. I do not quite know how to explain it: at some point during the dream I became aware of the fact that I'm starting to dream. It is a state between waking & dreaming, also called "lucid dreaming" loft store is called, & one can learn control. So that's what I did to the poem 'work & try to memorize as much of it as I can before I wake up. Sometimes I wake up before I could memorize it completely, & then the poem's often lost because it's not possible in your waking state to reconstruct the poem not. The familiar dilemma of the Person from Porlock, except that in this case is yourself! It's much like when you have a pleasant dream & hope you do not wake up before the dream was played out, but usually if you have reached that point, that point of awareness that you are dreaming, it is too late because then wake up inevitable. One can learn to exercise those last seconds to stretch. 2. Could you put this particular poem quickly in its final form rounded or have multiple versions to develop its final form? This poem I found in its entirety & scribbled rhymes & al. But I told & down every 5 years after the poem remains returned & fiddle, then left because I still were not happy. There are a total of 8 variants - 6 in 2003, 1 in 2004, in 2007 I have two variants of the second stanza written loft store down, & the final form on August loft store 28, 2008 written down. I have from the beginning had a problem with the second stanza - ampoule is not the easiest word to a good rymwoord loft store to get. Here are the different permutations: He gave me a big ampule loft store -
In his hand a fragile ampule -
but just find places to waste smells. And the final version, to & from 5 years later, read:
There are small but significant loft store changes that I made to it: I have "friends" in line 2 is replaced with "peace" to the struggles of the father figure better to convey, "painless" in line 6 is replaced by the more loaded "intimate" , stanza two is a few times before I finally rewritten in the trials stage got the solution - I work well under pressure & bladproewe is very useful for me when it comes to rounding poetry. When I & Francois Smith ee a sunny Saturday morning in Mouille Point at a table the manuscript loft store sat & editing for all those little foxes to cut off the vine destroy (language & spelling), he suggested that in the bottom line "tailings "replaced with" surplus ", loft store & I proposal gratitude because I could immediately see that it works better because it is the association with the deceased father strengthened. "Tailings" was little the obvious. The English word was part of the dream & I soon realized it was untranslatable. I can not explain exactly what that meant, but I knew that it belonged to the verse. 3. How much of this is provided to you "given" and how much was the result of "Sweatshop"? As you can see from my answers above is the poem in its entirety for "given", but it was the little wysigi
