Poem a Day
Some creative types advocate a method to increase creativity by writing a poem a day forevermore. Here’s my effort to increase my creativity and avoid perfectionism.
Sunday
Haikus are easy
Not easy, but straightforward
I just penned one
Monday
Perfection is good
Shipped is preferable
Why not try for both?
Tuesday
Now uninspired
Creativity in waves
Better than ever
Wednesday
Sassy Daisy-May
Loves long walks, runs, and car rides
Cuddling next to me
Thursday
Social media
Ahhhhhh LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub
Not enough time for them
Friday
Televise e-sports
Power to the nerdy folks
Stop praising athletes
Saturday
No photographs please
I am not wearing makeup
Wait, I never do
Sunday
Continue kicking ass
And you will be rewarded
By life and your peers
Monday
Anonymity
Increases your bravery
For better or worse
Tuesday
Whoa crazy lady
Are you really afraid of dogs?
No need to freak out
Wednesday
Bro, that’s not haiku
Moras are not syllables
Pedantic diff’rence
Thursday
Mediocrity
Happens all too easily
Eat your own dog food
Friday
Exercise takes time
And food is so damn tasty
That’s why I am fat
Saturday
Home maintenance sucks
Paychecks paid straight to my Lowe’s
Days spent in the yard
Sunday
Countless thoughts to share
Until I’m at the keyboard
Then it just dries up
Monday
Off me hungry cat
I’ll feed you when I wake up
Until then, shutup
Tuesday
Haters gonna hate
Eagerly trolling people
Keep daring greatly
Wednesday
You can do an’thing
Except defy gravity
That’s natural law
Thursday
Onward and upward
Or perhaps out and over
Life’s path’s uncharted
Friday
Chinese twice today
Tongue and belly are happy
Heart and scale are mad
Saturday
Today I ran miles
Slow down, breathe, focus, and go
Push to run longer
Sunday
Can I make one rhyme
Easy enough this one time
Twice would be a crime
Monday
Authentication
Usable security
My new job, Toopher
Tuesday
Deer in the greenbelt
Just hanging out and sleeping
What a peaceful scene
Wednesday
What is modern rock?
Black Keys, Muse, Mumford and Sons
Radio needs variety
Thursday
Sunny and real hot
It is summer in Texas
Gonna get sweaty
Friday
Good end to the week
Kayaking to the sunset
Outdoors in Austin
Saturday
What the?! Up is down…
Stupid reverse scrolling Mac
Why do I love you?
