I repeat myself often, but only
slant-rhyme.
I don't change, only fade, with the
passage of time.
What were once firm positions are now
merely leanings.
My playlist is old songs, but heard
with new meanings.
I debate the old concepts with new
groups of faces.
What I did and I wished for, over time,
traded places.
As my years rose in number, I
consistently found
Myself living in new places, treading
old ground.
Still don't know where I'm going; never
learned why I'm here,
But a life unexpected is nothing to
fear.

Meet the New Habits, Same as the Old Habits

Do you stop writing poet because you have found love or a gf?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question!
DeleteThe answer is no. I got out of the habit when I had teaching jobs that were very draining for me. I did not have the energy or inspiration to write. Since then, I have not been able to re-establish my writing habit or re-discover my inspiration. I guess the moment has passed.
Poetry I meant ��
