What keeps the dark away?
And keeps the wick alight?
Let's create a poem a day
It is not that difficult to write
Doesn't need to be a masterpiece
Just need some time and consistency
It doesn't even need to rhyme
Just meanings upon meanings, and words within words
Use puns, irony, simile, or hyperbole
Tools to use at your disposal are many
Free form or haiku,
Just write, time and time again
Embrace consistency
Write without hesitation, but be sure to re-read
For mistakes can be made, and improvements can be done
Not chasing for perfection, just a product pleasing to the eye
May it contribute to the reader, more than it did to the writer
Now come on, follow that blinking cursor and type
Grab your respective writing utensils and weave the words
These poems ain't writing themselves
And the day is not done
