Always
Never again
We promise we will learn
To not repeat the same mistakes
But another day, another dollar
We go blindly rushing forward
Til we are reminded
Of our madness
Always
A rictameter. Starting your first line with a two-syllable word, you then consecutively increase the number of syllables per line by two. i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Then down again, 8, 6, 4, 2, making the final line the same two-syllable word you began with.
New blooming flowers draw forward buzzing bees
inspiring budding poets with frivolous reveries,
this joyous re-creation, once poetic enough
spawns a thousand imitators – spring can fuck right off!
The glorious calms of a beach bathed in sun
triggers a thousand lines of torture begun,
this scent-filled glory, once poetic enough
to waste the paper and ink – summer can fuck right off!
The mourning skies becoming dull and brown;
woodland walks stir the poet to get words down,
this reflective mood returning, once poetic enough,
each leaf holds another cliche – autumn can fuck right off!
In hibernation, sat in front of a warm log fire
each crackle and sizzle will, the poet inspire;
This year’s snow (as every year!), once poetic enough;
the word weary reader wonders – winter can fuck right off!
There’s comfort in repetition
There’s comfort in repetition
There’s comfort in repetition
Never making a decision
Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful to find the rope for Tangmo to play with again. Hidden in the grass. I found it when I went to find Kim Chi who had jumped over the fence to play with the cow. The cow chased her back and she appeared on top of the hedge when I called her.
I am so happy and grateful for my sight and hearing, deteriorating but still working.
Spend as little time as possible talking about how other people are wrong.
Tyler Cowen, again. Repeated to make sure that you understand!
