The poem of me from yesterday Is not that which I am today In many ways they may resemble But don't be fooled by what I say Look closely at what you hear Listen with more than just an ear The poem of me from yesterday Is not that which I am today You think that you may know me By the words I rhyme and sing You think that you may know me But of me you know not a thing The poem of me I once sang for you Then may have had lyrics true But with each new day the words decay And of that me from then -- I bade adieu

Friggin genius write, mucho like
And your friggin kindness is mucho appreciated, AHS.
How simply and beautifully your words speak of the permanence of impermanence dear Kurt. Thanks for a moment of reflection. Nice to meet ‘you’ but ‘not you’ again 🙂
🙂 Likewise,PR.
Beautiful poem, Kurt. It has a sad, almost distant pull to it that drew me right in. The rhythm too is slow and haunting – very nicely done.
Happy New Year!
Thank you kindly, Mel. And Happy New Year to you and yours, as well my friend. It’s gonna be a fantabulistic year.
Indeed it is – it’s not the cold I feel in my bones (though it’s freeezing) it’s the simple joy of all the possibility!
Perfect.
Very beautiful!:)
I’m happy you think so, xxnewfoundwonderxx. Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
True! I have only just figured this out in the last 24 hours or so, that when I write it is true in that moment and then I move on. Somehow it transforms me. Beautifully expressed and perfectly timed [for this grasshopper].
Thank you for your very kind and helpful feedback/wisdom, jamborobyn. It is very much appreciated [by this grasshopper].
Lovely 🙂
Thank you, ourbabygenius. I’m happy you think so.
To paraphrase “he wrote as if he knew me”. So so true- wonderful expression
I’m so happy you think so, cindygurmann. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It has always been helpful to me to paraphrase the poems I read, as well.
Awesome !

Very melodic cadence in this poem. We do indeed change from day to day and we have only the very moment that is where we are present. I like your reminder very much. Reading this out loud was most enjoyable.
Thank you very much for saying so, Mary. It is very encouraging to receive such kind and helpful feedback. I really appreciate it.
