Sample of a 24 line poem.

~Today, by Mike Lucas~

Today is such a brilliant day -
It never ever goes away.
Whenever I wake up
Its dawn is always at the crack.

But yesterday is not so good -
It never stays like what it should,
And I feel sad because I know
I’ll never get it back.

Tomorrow teases me so much -
It’s never close enough to touch,
But stays beyond my reach
As if it’s laughing in my face.

One day I stayed up through the night
And, as tomorrow came in sight,
It went and jumped ahead and left
Today there in its place.

So now I do not try to dwell
On yesterdays and also tell
Myself that those tomorrows
Are horizons in the sun.

I spend my time in just today,
Enjoying it in every way,
Until the day finally arrives
When my todays are done.
