Persistent Thoughts

There are days when I write several paragraphs or,
verses of rhyme and then delete them because
it seems at the time they weren't really what
I wanted to say at all and so
what I had committed to this electronic platform
was wiped from my view with a few simple keystrokes
and I started back over with something new
only to find when I took a long view
that I ended up back in a similar place
to the one where I started before hitting erase
and I wonder what is it about what I thought
that caused it to cling so tightly
it wouldn't go away in spite of my
clearing the board and saying, "Enough!"
but, instead, hung in there tough
until it managed to find its way on the page
anyway.
Not today.
