There once were two gnomes in the snow, With a lantern that warmly did glow. They stood cheek to beard, Christmas quiet revered, Just sitting—no rush, nowhere to go. #MerryChristmas #HappyHolidays

🔔 My first EP for the #Holidays came out yesterday 🔔 This one has cinematic rock remakes of three classic #ChristmasCarols each with new original rewritten lyrics. Yes, they're epic! Because why wouldn't they be? -> distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #Music #AIMusic #NewMusic #Holiday #Christmas #Rock

Just a little limerick to take the sting out of getting hurt by someone close 😒 🐝 There once was a heart brave and true, Who shared what it lovingly knew. When silence replied, It hurt — but she sighed, And said, “Not all gardens need view.” 🌱 #Limerick #Poem #Poetry #AIPoem
