A poem a day to keep brain rot away

Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!

May 3rd, 2012

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3^rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

Full moon

Full moon tonight
So things are all right
There's no rush
No need to hush
We won't be bound
So let's fill this room with sound
It's times like these
When we're most at ease

Ice

Blue black haze is all I see
Get away from in front of me
Your anger spills every where
And now I have received my share
So, don't be surprised if my heart is stone
This ice is reserved for you alone

Bittersweet

A dark highway alone at night
Random thoughts the only light
A mournful melody, a soulful tune
Hoping for a glimpse of the moon
No such luck as tires eat the miles
Drowning in long forgotten smiles

There was a man

There was a man from Quebec
Who found himself drowning in debt
He said, oh what the heck!
I'm in up to my neck
So he went and gold-plated his deck

Favour

Finding favour is often long
And sometimes you'll find that favour wrong
Not worth receiving in the end
Because it cost you life and friends
But if you're strong
You'll always find where you belong

Away

Let's go far away
Somewhere we can watch the dolphons play
Above beyond and yonder too
All together, them, us, me and you

Percy

Every savage beasty
Who pursued poor halfblood Percy
Were always mean
And sent by Kronos' team
To foil the daring youth
As he never ceased in his pursuit
Of fighting for the earth
To prove his mortal worth

For my son!

Forgot to write
Spent the night
Feasting with good friends
Came to bed
With a head
To full to make any sense!

Football

As the ball goes by
A leg will fly
It is but human nature
To kick at a sphere
That hazards near
Always is a pleasure

Shine

Let your light shine
He said, for you are Mine
Put your trust in Me
And forever you will see
Let the truth wash over you
And My love you will imbue
Embrace those all around
And you will know that you've been found
