Repetition

Over and over Again and again Echo, echo Reiteration Throwing a ball To and fro Taking a walk Away we go Busy work Filing files Nighttime clerk Stocking isles Same ole same Everything No change To cause pain

Yes life is full of repetition. There is a certain rhythm and comfort to repetition. however if we look closely things are never truly the same. God is in the habit of repeating himself but no two snowflakes or flowers or people are the same. I enjoyed your poem.

I sensed a lot of high-strung vibes coming from these few lines. Those last 2 lines struck very deep.

I like how you wrote this, it's like rapid fire and gives substance to the repetition of the day. Beautiful work.
