I don't try for perfection, I just want it to work. When I write poetry, I go through it, and go back and look for misspelled words.
Most poems I write don't seem to need much in the way of polishing. A few times they have taken several days work, but that it very rare. Typically less than an hour of writing and the poem is complete.
The short story attempt came before the poetry writing, so the quickness of the poetry didn't influence me in my short story work.
