Domino Effect for M lady vanessa

poem in rhyming quatrains

 

Domino effect

 

I sometimes wonder what I’d do

should it become possible to.

Just click my mouse and so erase

 all memory of former days.

 

Give me the chance to start anew

A pristine sheet on which to write

 A chance to stand back and review.

 what I got wrong what I got right.

 

I think perhaps it’s just as well

this is a choice we cannot make .

For insofar as I can tell

 I think it would be a mistake.

 

To try to rewrite history.

How could we know what to select

to keep or discard totally.

I fear a domino effect.

 

I think I would leave well alone

I would not change a single thing.

Too many factors are unknown

 to change one might change everything..

I think about this a lot actually... this poem is going to have me thinking about it for a while now. Words from your poems seem to stick in my mind... I'm not really sure why. Your poems are all well written! =) Something as simple as being born could mess history up forever.... Thanks for the thought! Keep Writing!
