This time,
Haven't done it
With all of the accolades.
All this time
Haven't done it.
Haven't done it
At all!
Haven't done it
With all of the ovations,
The relaxing vacations.
Haven't done it...
All the houses,
All the hotels,
Haven't done it.
All the sales,
Haven't done it.
Disappointedly,
Surprisingly,
A meeting...
Late failures.
Thank you for reading!

A Pleasing Talk
A furry teen Shakes off seventy percent Of water after From who tries to bathe. And correctly Knowing... a teen Alone only clean Areas light as a feather, Know what I mean, Rhetorically. Cooks until on their own A Cook! At a place. A magnificent look And no fleeing smells. Baby's all grown up. Notices the visiting, Booked! Another And another sees. An amused pour. A pleasing talk...

Feel this deeply. Never satisfied with our success, but God knows what’s best. Nice poem.
This really hits deep. It’s like having everything but still feeling like something’s missing. I feel that. Sometimes success doesn’t always mean fulfillment.
