redefine: circle.

by Aaron Michael

it's so easy to forget
when and why
when tomorrow only comes once
and forever
stacking the new
over old and dusty is
just easy
neat
but when your city hits sky
and rot sinks the foundation
you'll end again where you began
today.

Much to ponder in this brief but poignant and symbolic poem. (Not rating but this is an effective and expressive poem.)

I love those last four lines. Just a really, really cool image.

rot sinks the foundation —oh how true. (and right before the very eyes, how ironic)

The whole poem has an omen feel about it. High quality, Aaron. High quality indeed.

Strong thoughts about life, in general, and I sense this relates also to how you phrase your occupation on your home page here.

I like the phrasing you used, giving familar words a new spin by rearranging it seems..."stacking the new over old and dusty is just easy neat" yes neat, and very, very cool. Well deserved POTD. smh
