Today Poems | Examples of Today Poetry

If today was your last would you change it up at all? If you knew you had less than an hour before death, would you do anything differently? the undead rarely think about this. lack of experience has not helped us much. If you had twelve minutes left, would you still be at work? What would you do? Do that!...

Today I gave myself permission To do all the things I have always wanted To run through the halls To scream as loud as I could To shake up my soda and let it explode To run as fast as I could To jump in the fountain and splash the water To run naked as a Jay bird through...

i dont believe in organized religion but i do believe in a supreme being and his opposite-destroying with a mind invasion wrapped up as compassion-his evil doing once there was a thing called tolerance where people could freely express different opinions now to do it today-is a game of chance as the minority holds-the pubic opinions if you dare step out of line they...

I had a close encounter Just this morning, on my walk, When a bird of prey came swooping down - A falcon or a hawk. Either way, it flew right at me; I saw feathers and a face And it could have quickly grabbed my hat And left without a trace. Instead, it made it to a branch And sat and looked around, While...

The north of the Ave has its shine, Less fine, southerly way; Best Philly, and worst, intertwine, In Kensington today. Six miles, in a small corner curled, “What matter?” you may say; Well, the world is here, here’s the world, In Kensington today. ...

I forge new versions of myself daily, crafted to echo what...

I couldn’t count how many more (I didn’t want to stare) And on her wrists, assorted bracelets Brightly dangled there. She was...
