This video 'borrows heavily' *cough*STEALS*ahem* from Simon Armitage's article for the Guardian back in 2008. You can read it for yourself and avoid my rambling nonsense: theguardian.com/books/2008/sep/21/poetry.writin…

Anyway, this video explores the magic art of knowing when your poem is finished and you can stop editing it. Frankly, you can never know for sure, but at least this gives you something to hold on to.
