For today’s prompt, write a hiding poem. The poem could be about someone hiding or something hidden. Or the process of searching. And remember: There are physical things that can hide, but also thoughts, emotions, plans, and so much more.

Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!
In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at a Hiding poem:
“hide”
if you think you can hide that little secret
you are mistaken
it will eat at you every time you don’t say
this is who i am
sure it’s scary to reveal that little secret
but when it is time
you will find that life is so much better when
you don’t have to hide
