Case You Wonder If You're The Only One...

PAD Challenge day 4: For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Case (blank);” replace the blank with a word or phrase; make the new phrase the title of your poem; and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Case of Water,” “Case in Point,” “Case Study,” and “Case of the Missing Person.”

I hope everyone has a case of easy poeming today!

 

 What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun.

Eccles.1:9

 

 

…in case you wonder if you’re the only one?

There is nothing, nothing new under the sun

Everything new is but the jaded roar

Of everything said and done before

On time-tried ways to growing old

There is nothing new for us to behold

Still, aren’t you glad there will always be

The wonderful bliss of discovery?

Sometimes for a time, we feel quite set apart

As we weather the weather that weathers the heart

Then, when we wonder if this has been said, felt or done

Remember, there is nothing new under the sun
