Add me to the list of people who have no problem revising their work, regardless of how old it is. I used to think that I would cease revising poems that have been published, but I've already made changes to at least one of those, or possibly two.
As most folks here know, I love Auden dearly, but I can't agree with the notion that revisions shouldn't happen once a poem has existed for a few years. Sometimes you just think of a better way to describe something, or you've found a way to tighen up the meter, or perhaps your opinion on punctuation has changed somewhat -- maybe those double-hyphens you were once so fond of look a bit clunky now!
In short, there's no reason for limitations on such things, in my opinion.
