Same Again, Please

I’ve written this poem before

I scribbled these words previously

And this ain’t no deja vu

I’m repeating myself

Going in circles

Chasing my tail

I’ve penned these lines in the past

They came out just the same

I’ve nothing new to add to them

My inspiration dried up

It’s with the tumbleweeds now

Gone

So repetitive, so true to the long ago

You want the new

The fresh

Creativity springs forth creating the unseen

The unheard the unknown

Not the tired and true

I’ve written this poem before

And I’ll write it again

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe next week

You’ll read it and like it

I know I will

This is a well trodden path

The familiar, the easy

Catch me if you can -- it’s easy
