Never Again… NaPoWriMo, day 10

Poetic Asides for Day 10 of April PAD / NaPoWriMo:

***
Never again
will be hard to define.
How many of those
got washed in the drain?

I hardly remember
when I last even tried
to believe
in the magic of never again.

  Never again is a commonly used expression unfortunately.
  Nice concise piece, Mariya. I see you do translation work,
  I also do some here in Mexico, but only Spanish.

  Never again IS definitely hard to define sometime!

  Mariya, this is poignant and melancholy; a wonderful take on the PA prompt. Those “never agains” do start to pile up over the years, I suppose. But there are a few I have managed to stick to.

  Mine is a bit sadder, I fear: http://sharplittlepencil.wordpress.com/2011/04/11/finale/

  Pamela – thank you very much! Yes, I translate for living. Mostly boring stuff, as you can imagine

  Many times I’ve said never again, only to do it again. You hit a universal! Well done.
