Notes About The Poem

Editing Mode

some nights I pause
and actually believe
it would be easy

to rewind the film
to rewrite my day
maybe even my life

while some might toss
the old one aside
and try a new script

I'd prefer to
take my scissors
and make edits

and mostly what I'd do
is stretch the time
I spent with you

Nice write, Line. I guess if we could rewind our lives, then nobody would have seen Jaws 4 ;-) Congrats on your win. Terry
