Instead, write a poem and put all your best mistakes in it. Leave the poem under a stack Don't bother to send it out or read it at any readings let it gather dust Occasionally you can take it out and read it You could ask a few friends for some of their best mistakes and add them too They don't have to rhyme After awhile you might fold the poem up and put it in a box or use it as a paperweight unfolding it only when you feel you need to learn from past mistakes but most of the time you could just leave them there, unattended After all, the poem is mostly for storage It's always nice to know you have a poem to keep things in.
