Poetic
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
— William Ernest Henley
The greatest minds felt what you feel, and found their way through. Now let their words find you, on your home screen, your lock screen, your every day.
“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”
W. E. Henley
“Hope is the thing with feathers.”
Dickinson
“What we think, we become.”
Buddha
Defined
po·et·ic
/pōˈedik/ · adjective
Having a quality of beauty, and an intensity of emotion.
You’ve always felt the world more deeply than most. You simply never had the words for it.
To be poetic is a way of seeing: finding beauty and meaning in every experience, the joyful and the painful alike, and keeping wonder alive where life would rather dull it. Poetic is the daily practice of that mindset, hundreds of the greatest minds gathered into your day to remind you to look closer and feel more.
And it is remembering that you are not only a reader of these words, but a writer of your own. We are each living out a story, composing a novel line by line, a poem only we can write. To be poetic is to feel every ounce of it, and to take up the pen as the narrator of your own life.
This is Poetic

Words that move you.
Words that are you.
The greatest minds felt what you feel, and wrote it down.
“Hope is the thing with feathers.”
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
“What we think, we become.”
“To love at all is to be vulnerable.”
“Courage is grace under pressure.”

The Widget
Beautiful words,
always already there.
A line, wherever you look
One line, at the right moment, can change a whole day. Poetic lives on your home and lock screen, with no app to open and no feed to chase.
Designed by you
Craft your own widget designs, each with its own topics, theme background, and font. Then place any design on any tile, and switch between them whenever the mood changes.
As often as you like
Give each design its own rhythm: a single line once a day, twelve times, or a fresh one every hour. You set the pace.
Windows of Light
Let the right words
find you.
Choose the times, the days, and how often their words reach you. A stanza from Whitman at dawn, a line of Rumi at dusk, words with the weight to change your morning, never an interruption. You decide when the light comes in.
