Generally when I write my poems, they more or less write themselves fairly quickly in a single sitting. This isn't one of those and I'm still unsure if I like it or not. Some parts I tweaked, others I left alone, and some of it I basically rewrote five times. That said, it was written in two sittings, so not too far off my normal pacing.
