Oh, very interesting way of looking at the writing process. Of course, there are poems that I write that are not satisfying. I tend to think of them as stepping stones. Something did not work, and I learn from that to not do that again. Or at least try to. But to break it up, find that "stitch" and mend it into something new, that's a valuable process. You described it very well here! Thank you for sharing that. And yes, I do like the new version better.
