Mornings are the same, Although they come to me in late afternoon, Coffee brews the same, A taste that arrives none too soon, Dressing is the same, I lack variety by closely planned design, Colors are they same, I’ve taken the darkness as mine. Evenings are the same Diet attempts to shed a pound or two And still they remain, Despite grand cooking the plain will do Desire simply contained Shut away tight on a shelve or two. The nights are the same, I can work at work without thought, The sights are the same Seldom is any excitement brought And when it is near Other concerned do what ever they ought And I don’t go there. I remain the same Doing what I wish because I can I remain the same A simple solitary man Gloom |

Solitary, but never simple. Enjoyed the read, poet Gloom. |

I enjoyed this very much. At first I was worried that you'd overdo the use of "same" but you didn't. Nicely done indeed. Cheers - Ed “Well all the apostles, they’re sittin’ on the swings, sayin’ I’d sell off my savior for a set of new rings.” |

at least I enjoyed reading your wonderful poem if the life there was silently quiet. |

sounds like you are happy with the same routine is a good thing I guess, but sometimes we need change when we feel like we're dying (though change is hard) good poem here, I can relate |

A fine thoughtful 'write'! [a celebration of individuality and the independent spirit; etc.!] I am particularly fond of the ending!: "I remain the same Doing what I wish because I can I remain the same A simple solitary man" serious applause!! |
