Answer:

C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words

Explanation:

This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".

There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.
