About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: Repetition
What do you think about events, people, knowledge and thoughts that keep repeating themselves? Are they ever useful to you?


-----------

Repetition is annoying. Even my own repetition annoys me when I have to do the same thing over and over. Sometimes I forget that I did something and start doing it all over again, and then, I get mad at myself.

The same goes for other people who keep repeating the same woes, the same stories, the same everything, but then, I always think, this is because they are old like me and they can forget, even if I'm so annoyed.

My annoyance could be because of how our brains work. Brains like new stuff and the same old stuff causes a sensory overload. Just imagine listening to the sound of a leaky faucet until the plumber arrives. That's when we think, "Thank god for plumbers!"

Then, like with anything else, repetition means being stuck in the same place, forever. This can lead to mental fatigue and a sense of being trapped in the same place. Our minds and our selves need stimulation to keep up our sanity and interest in our surroundings. This is because of repetition's oppression, making us feel powerless.

And I hope I haven't repeated myself while writing this entry. *Laugh*
