“Abundance” for dVerse Poets

Abundance

How can we approach “abundant”
without resorting to “redundant?”
We must simply have the gall
to search for the original
instead of coming in the door
with something we have bought before––
like “Beanie Babies” by the score.

What if, everywhere we went,
we looked for something different?
So when we chose a friend anew,
they had a different point of view?
From countryside or town or city,
be it huge or itty-bity––
just choose someone you find witty

and mine their mind for something new
that can grow a part of you
that’s different from what came before––
that can open up a door
within your heart, within your mind
of that place where you can find
beliefs of a matching kind.

    I agree with Roth above, it’s nice to find friends with all kinds of different perspectives. Sometimes challenging our own opionions and beliefs is a great way to get wise!! Your poem spells this out in a very nice creative manner, well done!
