normally an X will do it
other times white-out
but
then
sometimes
there are things that
nothing
not even an eraser
can fix.

Emily~
Good one~

I used to wonder why the pencil with all the mistakes in it had such a short eraser~

Good insight but it applies to much more than just a misspelled word. I have written more than a few pages that even the trash can couldn't fix

This is short, light and quite appropriate. I can't improve it.

It needs more art and structure to be interesting; more craftiness.

What do you mean by art and structure?

It is not easy to say (especially being tired and ready to go to bed right now

). But think about the special quality and flow and form that comes in a limerick to say something short and witty, compared to your poem that has no rhyme and no special or consistent flow, but only linebreaks as a form-like structure for the poem.

Don't be afraid to use the timber of tradition and that poetry is already built on from its past, that is what gives poetry its might and main, just like the special techniques learned in painting, in singing, and other arts.

Very insightfull. So short yet so powerful. I am not positive but i believe your are refering to life in general. We all make mistakes, but they can not alawys be undone.
