Gals, thanks for your input. All my work is dated. On the earlier poems, it's more like -- "I could write this better," not "I could write this different." better grammar, removing extra verbiage, cutting out the cliches.

So far, I haven't edited anything, but was thinking about it.

On a parallel note, I also have some large paintings I did in my 20's. Three of which I love, and the rest of which -- I never loved, and am getting bored with. (Then, they're on my walls and I see them every day.) And I'm thinking about "doing something" to the ones I'm tired of, but maybe I should preserve those too? I don't know.

Part of me very much likes the idea of an historical record of my creative life, and part of me wants to fix things. *sigh*
