Poetry Project,V 2.0, Day 6

well, it's been an interesting ride thus far. I've received just a couple poems, and I won;t post them since I haven't been given permission to do so, but WOW - you have all surprised me!!

So here I sit, another day gone by, and it's time to write something, and I'm caught thinking that I have nothing to write about, nothing to say, no big ideas or important thoughts rumbling around and needing to be uttered. So what then to write about? Let's find out, I guess!!!


Arguing with Myself

Opponant equals unknown.
Ability unsure.
Better use the old standby.
I hate the old standby.
Still, it's the safer bet.
But it's not fun anymore.
But you dont want to get into a game you're not sure of.
But it's not about winning.
Yes, it is.
No, it's about something more than that.
There is nothing more than that.
What about fun?
It's fun to win.
It's fun to learn.
You were taught to play to the best of your ability.
But when I'm on my best, I'm really good.
It's not a shame - you've worked hard to get there.
But it's not a challenge.
It is for the opponant.
OK, fine, I'll sort-of play it.
Oh, please don't get inventive.
I'll start off normal, but then do something different.
I hope he does something purely expected and "blah."
Oh, shut up.
I will, after you play the old standby.


And I play it anyway.


Thanks for reading.
