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!
