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!
