Question: How does one know when a poem is finished!?
I wrote something down for the first time in a while!.

Coveted
by many for her beauty!.
Yet I'm in love
with her conversation!.
And so it goes!.!.!.
An old bachelor knows
opportunity is lost
to procrastination!.

when you feel it's finished

I used to write poems when I was younger and some I even left deliberately unfinished as to let the reader finish it
I just liked to leave it that way!.

Usually when one sees the full stop at the end, exactly the same as a sentence!.
