Seldom can a thought impress Until I see it at the end. Too many fake impressions Wander through my weary mind. I try to siphon only the best And leave the rest to be discarded. If only a poet knew for sure If it was the best he kept. Let the reader be the judge Of what he has presented. It is the only way for a poet to know; Was this the best he kept.

Who knows what is the best? Certainly the poet's mind creates the best at the time it is written. But a second look or even simple editing usually finds that it can be better than originally expressed.
