Looking Ahead
I see another________day dawning
Traffic jams at sunrise got me yawning
Ain't feeling________________very wise
Lessons____________keep ‘em straight:
Open mind_____________guarded heart,
Sweep hate afar, strength don't tear apart.
Plans of mice_________plans of men
Around and around and around again
Lost, found, set sail, run aground
Swim to shore, back for more,
Lighthouse beams slice,
burning all night
oil’s tight
fadeout
callback
new route
in black
year's end
year's start
glue together
or split_______apart



21 lines, 76 words. Prompt: use title "Looking Ahead."

 Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.  Wisdom is not using it in a fruit salad.  So also, knowledge is knowing that a machine can string  words and phrases into stories and poems; wisdom is understanding that those stories and poems are meaningless because they cannot connect two minds and two souls.  You're an excellent writer, and I'm pleased that you see no need to falsify talent!
