Have You Ever Worried About Being Redundant?

Always try not to repeat myself, either in words or ideas, but...still I worry I do...

Have You Ever Worried About Being


            Redundant?


 


I worry sometimes about saying,


More than once or many times,


Certain rhymes after writing so many,


I might be better off to be a mime,


As repeat a word they cannot.


 


I realize to repeat a word,


With all we write,


Is not so absurd,


But what worries me is,


If I repeat an idea,


How will I know?


 


Of late have had the desire,


To write a great deal,


So if I kinda misfire,


And repeat myself,


Believe me, that I did not conspire,


With my “id” to make that mistake…


                                                          (ed)

I have a problem of repeating myself from time to time; but I have a friend who is mentally handicapped, poor guy, and he repeats himself constantly. Drives me to no end! Good write, and no, you don't repeat yourself THAT bad! (((HUGS))) and much love, your tx. friend, Karen Lynn. :D
