I trust you mean that my criticism was constructive. The advice would be sound for most poets. Editing takes virtually no time, and in a medium where every word is vital, and the rhythm of those words is equally vital, a small correction can go a long way.
Consider if Kilmer had left the last line of "Trees" with a typo like "Poems are made by fools like me, / But only Good can make a tree." A small error changes the meaning in a big way.
That's not to say that it did in yours, Lassus. I'm just saying that it's worth considering.
