IS TODAY TODAY?
If today was tomorrow yesterday,
and if today is yesterday tomorrow,
and if yesterday was tomorrow two days before today
and if tomorrow will be yesterday two days after today
Is today still today today?

- Comment from author about the poem: A bit of silly for today. Plus a pen drawing to which I added a watercolour wash which I'll post another day after today which might be tomorrow or it could be yesterday in two days time. .

Really like this idea 🙂 I think you could write more on the same subject and really ponder the question you pose
At the moment I am still a bit confused - not sure if its not tomorrow when today is actually yesterday - am I getting a little ahead of myself?
Possibly, but its interesting how tense seems definitive and yet when thinking about what today, yesterday and tomorrow represent they are sort of subjective concepts. Also, who are you today to you yesterday and who were you today to you tomorrow? And so on.
As I often say today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Good write.
Good write. Also - does tomorrow never come? Because when it gets here, it's today!
Thanks Orchidee - as the Queen said to Alice in Through The Looking Glass: 'Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow but never jam today'
Brilliant poem. A light hearted view on issues around who and when we are.
I was thinking about this yesterday and will re-read your poem again tomorrow. 🤔
You could read it yesterday in two days time
I did. It will be fun
Aw thanks Garry my last laugh before retiring to bed tonight - or was it yesterday?
Tell me about it Last week.
Thanks MICHAEL TODAY or not TODAY ? That really is the question ! BRIAN Please check my Poem ~ Thanks B Thanks for the line drawing of my Ancestral Home !
Thanks - not sure if I'm nobler in the mind to answer the question.
Haha love this....confused though.....going for a cup of tea 😅
Drink it quickly - it'll be cold if today is yesterday.
Lol
wait till next week....oh boy! good fun Michael and the drawing is killer! ww
Is next week the week after this week or the week before the week in two weeks time?
LOL! Great write
Thanks tony
Welcome
I'm think about today what I thought yesterday, but tomorrow is still ahead of me, so let me worry about today rather than tomorrow. Interesting writing that keeps of thinking about today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
But if what you're thinking about is yesterday save it up and wait for tomorrow when its today.
Love the play on words Michael!
Is that a drawing of your home? You wish. Whatever today is, tomorrow will be better and yesterday was worse. Very cleverly put. - Phil A.
I wish too - but think of the maintenance. Thanks Phil
