Tomorrow is the final day of the challenge. So let's make these last couple days count.
For today's prompt, write a do it again poem. This could be a poem about taking a mulligan or re-doing a mistake. Or maybe re-doing a magical moment. Or a poem for all those folks who like to ride roller coasters and get right back in line.

Here's my attempt at a Do It Again poem:
"This life"
has been something incredible,
and I would do it all again
the exact same way, because
I wouldn't want to trade the bad
experiences if it meant
I would not receive all the good,
and anyway, the gift of this life
isn't getting everything right
but getting through it to the next.
