bandstands

[the stranger]

Just been perusing my old poems to add to my website and I realised I'd used bandstands in 3 of my poems.

Does anyone else have an item or perhaps a theme that they consciously or subconsciously use, maybe too often? Obviously if it's subconsciously, you'll not yet have realised.

I suppose if there is a theme involved that may lean toward finding your voice?

I dunno, just pondering these things.

It is annoying when I use a word two or three times in a poem and do not notice even after reading through a number of times. A strange kind of blindness.

Sometimes we have our frequently words because we have our frequently used themes. When sorting through poems the other day I realised I had written a great deal connected with one particular theme. I don't have the foggiest idea why. None.

I've noticed how Viagra keeps coming up in my poems. Well, it used to anyway.

I use timescales and distances a lot - 400 million years, that sort of thing. Taking the long view.
