Poetry Revisions

I think my poetry revisions are turning me into a nut case.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to get a line right, one freaking line, and my problems all fell to one "the" which I wanted to delete because it would make my line look better but couldn't because it would sound weird.

This was after spending 15 minutes thinking of a word to rhyme with "driven."

By the end of this I will have completely lost it, I think.

Do not do revisions all in two days!

What'd you end up using for the rhyme? Shriven? :)

In the final version, I used "threaten" which sort of is a sketchy end rhyme, but it works.
