this one packs so much feeling. lovely yet sad.
Love this one, Ben. Thank you for writing it.
What a beautiful and powerful example of how repetition can be used effectively in a short poem.
Who doesn?t love new sheets? Ah, but not when they?re on a cold, new bed filled with loneliness. Love your use of repetition here, Ben.
