Not Worth Repeating
It’s years since I’ve been writing poems
So, searching for a topic,
I sometimes might repeat myself,
The outcome quite myopic.
Of course, there are some subjects that
Require repetition
And when I write, I needn’t ask
For anyone’s permission.
Yet on occasion, what I’ve penned
Is destined for the shredder,
For there’s a poem – same theme, but older,
That’s a whole lot better!
