Kevin stared at the ice cubes at the bottom of his bourbon glass trying to ascertain what they told about his future. He thought he could hear them predict he would be in a world of hurt in the morning. He decided they were truly psychic and poured himself another.

Knowing how to rule with a light touch
Isaac was a benevolent ruler until he tried to reach too far
Now he was holding on for dear life as his realm slipped through his fingers
Giving up the crown was easy after they chopped off his hands

Really Paul knew he should get out of there
Undercaffeinated and out of time
Nothing left in reserves
And yet here he was, a flaming branch in one hand
Watching the monster squint in his direction
All he wanted to do was to wake up from this nightmare
Yet he knew his alarm clock was never going to go off again

Bots
Love them
Create them
I program them
Yet right now they suck
Really it is more me
I cannot get things to fit
Even though I want to give up
I will try again to make it work
I must struggle, learn, and then I can teach
In this poem each line has one more syllable. I wanted to try something different. I hope you enjoy.
When she asked for something different
Evidently, she didn’t expect to find someone like me
It made her smile at first, but then
Reality of what was happening began to dawn on her
Dating real-life clowns didn’t do IT for her

Being behind the eightball was Wayne’s usual position
Under the gun was his preferred work style
Since it kept him motivated
Yet while he was a whirling dervish of activity, he never got anything done

Really can’t believe you said “I do”
Even though it was twenty-three years ago
Because I still hear the echoes of those words every day
Each touch and smile deepen my bond to you
Could never imagine not taking this journey with you
Counting myself blessed beyond any measure
Always and forever yours.

Bob bristled at Angie’s comment.
“Love isn’t blind,” he said. “Love sees everything. Every wart, every defect. Everything. Love just accepts all those things and keeps giving hugs. Love wants to show you that it’s okay to not be perfect, to fail, to do something stupid. Love is there to be wounded, kicked to the teeth, and spit upon. That’s why love is considered folly by some and ludicrous by others, but in the end, love wants to see you be the best you you can be.”
“But Charlie is blind in the book,” Angie said.
“But his love isn’t.”

The rose bit Olivia’s finger, releasing a single scarlet drop
Hendrik felt horrible. She was the love of his life and he had caused her pain
Olivia sucked at her wound with a small pout on her face
Realizing he needed to do something, he leaned forward to seal it with a kiss
Never seeing the rose as she smashed it into his face

Cuddling her close, Derrick enjoyed her warmth
Under his light touch, she purred with pleasure
The night was young and the two of them were curled up on the couch together
Even though Derrick was allergic, he still loved his kitty
