Life Poetic

Come And See

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

Today I gave life to a creature that lives

With no preconditions it already gives

Genetically perfect it’s perfectly fine

Birthed with a copyright making it mine

A poem of my own that I vow to protect

Devotion I give for the pride I collect

This may be my latest, but won’t be my last

A glimpse of my future that hints of my past

Creatively prideful it takes after me

Aggressively modest, it likely will be

Loaded with passion, unburdened by guilt

Carefully formed through a structure I built

It shares my opinions without holding back

Helps carry the baggage I need to unpack

Protecting my virtue no matter the cost

The perfect companion whenever I’m lost

I struggle each night getting ready for bed

It’s constantly hungry and wants to be fed

So loud and obnoxious, this lovable “bleep”

Congrats, it’s a Poem, now I’m going to sleep
