[ NaPo 2017] The Poem That Never Was

 
I don't know about you  
but I'm not interested  
in reading the same poem  
you wrote the day before  
written by someone else  
the day before that  
and so on  
 
There are poems riddled  
with forgivable cliches  
 
And then there are poems  
cliches in and of themselves  
 
Newbs to the exciting world of poetry  
will eventually come to this understanding  
and wholeheartedly agree with it    
challenging yourself to write  
not just a poem every day, but  
 
a poem that never was
