Today's poem:
The end begins\n
Anew\n
Thanks for reading!
Today's poem:
Teasing my wife\n
Is the biggest joy of my life\n
She teases back\n
Expertly as she has a knack\n
Nothing's as fun\n
That's how I know I've found the one
Today's poem:
These grains of sand\n
They fall\n
And as I watch\n
I realize I will not miss them\n
When they are gone
Today's poem:
When you sleep\n
What happens to your love\n
Does it stay\n
Or does it melt away\n
And come back\n
When you wake the next day
Today's poem:
She did slumber\n
For the pain and strain was too much\n
The awareness\n
Too acute and overwhelming\n
So there was rest\n
Peace and healing which renewed her\n
Reviving her\n
Preparing her for what comes next\n
Actually wait\n
Nope time to visit urgent care
Today's poem:
I find my dreams\n
Too interesting to be a\n
Morning person
Today's poem:
The seat I sat upon did fall\n
Into the depths\n
Where butts should never ever go
Today's poem:
Will the worst thing you've ever done\n
Persevere as\n
The worst thing you have ever done?
Today's poem:
You let it go\n
And off it flies into the world\n
Blinded by hope\n
Lifted up and up by purpose\n
And no one knows\n
How long it will remain aloft
Today's poem:
So here they come\n
Days off\n
Full of promise\n
And yet\n
I'm quite lazy
Today's poem:
Is there enough\n
Room to take all of the steps back\n
Is there enough\n
Distance available to see\n
Is there enough\n
To get the perspective I need
Today's poem:
Spoilers!\n
But I must say\n
I thought this day would never come\n
Yet here we are\n
Chewie finally got his medal\n
It's about time
Today's poem:
In the morning\n
It will be a long time ago\n
And it will be\n
In a galaxy far away\n
Pew pew pew pew
Today's poem:
Build\n
Something\n
That's never been\n
And then\n
The whole world wins
Today's poem:
Blankets cascade like waterfalls\n
Off the couch back\n
As I recline and rest my head\n
Soft and happy\n
With a cat on top of it all
Today's poem:
If you go deep\n
You'll find\n
Death\n
To be\n
The one true source\n
Of everyone's motivation\n
For without it\n
There would always be time later\n
And that later\n
Would not\n
Come
Today's poem:
We spend so much time competing\n
Which can be great\n
As long as our adversaries\n
Are the unknown\n
And time\n
Not each other
Today's poem:
A brand new year\n
So close\n
I could reach out\n
And touch what will hopefully be\n
The best year yet
Today's poem:
A winged javelin\n
Thrown by a powerful giant\n
Soars through the air\n
Forged from pure ingenuity\n
It hits it mark\n
A tiny speck miles away\n
And when it lands\n
You can use your cell phone again
Today's poem:
Glowing ears dance in the darkness\n
There is no sound\n
Until suddenly there's singing\n
And joy erupts
Today's poem:
Rain falls\n
Destiny calls\n
Let's see how the weather turns out
Today's poem:
Mirror\n
Reflect\n
You\n
Inspect\n
See\n
Defect\n
Not\n
Perfect\n
Then\n
Elect\n
Feel\n
Respect

Even poets\n
Can forget to write their poems\n

A database full of\n
Passwords stored\n
In completely plain text
@smokey Thank you!
