380 LUCY'S IN NEED OF EDITING

I just reread LUCY ON WALDEN POND
Sigh!  Found much in need of editing
Insight into the writing and editing process:
Each time I write a post
Mistakes in need of correction are missed
Each time I reread a post
Mistakes in need of correction are found

Perhaps, while focusing upon creating content
My mind is blind to mistakes, which result
When I choose to delete a word or add a word
While trains of thought are in the process
Of coupling up

In short, spying mistakes in written posts
Is like reflecting over
Mistakes we've made when facts prove
That yesterday's 'perceptions' are in serious need of review
Back to that post I go.  Lucy has some 'splaining' to do!
