Building Blocks
Building blocks on repeat again
Wine ever smelled so good
Building blocks on repeat again
Fermenting if it could
Building blocks on repeat again
Constructing is a tool
Building blocks on repeat again
Yet wield you’re still a fool
Building blocks on repeat again
But one block at a time
Building blocks on repeat again
No reason nor ere’ rhyme
Building blocks on repeat again
Until your fingers bend
Building blocks on repeat again
The hurt is just pretend
Building blocks on repeat again
The dunce of moral pride
Building blocks on repeat again
And knock them down inside

great meter and rhyme in this rather troubled poem. I enjoyed reading it very much. The repetition made it seem like a song. In fact while reading it aloud I found myself reading in a sing song voice, Have a happy day. diamond
/great poem. Loved everything about it. Have agood day, soki
Lovely, especially with that rich refrain hammering home the half elusive concept of starting over yet repeating mistakes sans learning, as it were. Too perfect, if that is the thought, since seems what Scripture indicates regarding being drunk, hauntingly because that has severe spiritual implications. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery, subtly eloquent in disarming simplicity effectively delving deeper. Thanks for sharing. I rather like it.
ttfn,
Jenny
