It’s like giving birth,
This poetry writing;
All straining and groaning,
With lots of nail biting.
This word or that word,
Which word is better?
It’s got to be great,
Down to the last letter.
Some I like very much,
Some I just have to end;
Some rhymes are just right,
Some I just have to bend.
When it’s been posted,
For the whole world can see;
A calm settles in then,
There is no where to flee.
Can’t hide from the Trolls,
Can’t hide from the comments;
I Just hope that my poems,
Don’t cause you to vomit.
Please tell me what you think

I like this! It humorously describes that polishing portion of writing a poem. For me I struggle with "which word is better" and use my thesaurus in MS Word extensively.
One line reads a little awkwardly:
"For the whole world can see;" either "So the whole world can see;" or "For the whole world to see;" read better.
