Repeating Myself

A poem a day for ten-plus years So naturally, there’d be Repeated subjects cropping up, Since they all come from me. Of course, some themes require Ruminations and returns, Resulting in new verses Dealing with the same concerns. Yet at times when I’m done typing A new entry from my book, My computer lets me know that I should take a second look Since a poem is in existence With the title I just chose, So I either must rename it Or delete it, I suppose. If that happens, I’ll retitle For it’s never to the letter But I end up disappointed If my former poem is better!

Hi ilene, very good, I am always afraid of repeating myself, sometimes I have to look back and see if I had written the same before, but so far lucky, not that I have written many poems as I find it quite hard at times, you seem to be able to just rattle them off, very clever, take care......Vera

Love your computer! Mine does NOT notify me of errors but simply "spellchecks" words to some unknown gibberish dictionary, one of the many reasons I so enjoy your eloquence! Aloha! Rico

Good one! I enjoyed reading this. And look on the bright side: at least that discovery gives you the chance to feel proud of your former self, which is worth something, right? :-)

haha. what a cute ending!! I ran out of life topics years ago, so that is why I am here (for the challenges!) One a day is an excellent way to do it but with my schedule, I often pick on free day and try to cram in five to seven of them. Oh my!
