Repeat-Offbeat

An experimentation with a slightly different ryhme scheme.

I: Our world's everflowing

Overflowing

flowing over

the brim of a hat

or so it looked from where I sat

but I can't see it

see because it doesn't fit

In the boxes we've made

deep in our brains

something strains

to sort through it all

but all in all it's far too tall

an order to fill

but still

we try

and try again

until we're worn thin

when in the end

it all fits in

just between

the lines you see

life isn't

everything isn't

where you're looking for it to be

life's off beat

let me please repeat :I

Author's Note

The :I is the closest thing to the musical symbol for repeat I can make using a keyboard, and that is what it is intended to be.

I like this. My favorite part is this;

"life isn't
everything isn't
where you're looking for it to be"
So true. Thanks for sharing!
