When writing a poem, I was told: "Do not repeat the same words." I asked, "why not?"
Their reply: "Repetition can be annoying and unappealing for those who are reading your poems"
At that moment, I wish I had replied:
" I repeat whatever I wish to repeat because when I repeat myself, I practice my repetition to the point that whatever it was that I repeated no longer sounds unappealing"
but instead,
I only wrote whatever I wrote without writing what I wished to write, ( that is, I wished to write without repeating words just to follow the advice someone once told me I should do, when writing a poem) but instead, I wrote without writing what my wishes were, and now, I'm glad that whatever I write nowadays is written not by how I wish to write but by how the write should be written
