Personal Gain

Posted on January 25, 2026 by sputterpub

This daily poetry can’t all be great,though I condition for integrity.More often than a piece to celebrate,it’s used to store minutia about me.My current mood or some activityI wish to recollect will float this boat.I’m quietly enjoying victory,implying, lest these … Continue reading →

Posted on January 17, 2026 by sputterpub
