Example Usage

Basic usage

$ termai Write a poem about a cat named bitty

Bitty the cat, small and sweet
Purring softly at my feet
With eyes as bright as stars above
She fills my heart with endless love

Her whiskers twitch, her tail does swish
As she curls up in a cozy dish
Content and calm, she naps all day
In her own little world, she'll forever stay

Bitty, my companion, my furry friend
On whom I can always depend
In her gentle purrs, I find peace
Forever grateful for her sweet release
