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!

Winter haiku

Icy pellets fall
Bruising nose, cheeks and eyelids
Winter joys are great

What is

Knowing then what you know now
Would you have changed the goal?
Reached for something higher
To better sate the soul?
A question for the ages
That will always be around
As every generation learns
Some feet never leave the ground

Insincerity

Let's all hang about and feed each other lies
We all know the score and hope the BS flies
But what happens when someone's had enough
And decides this time to call your bluff?
Do you graciously apologize
Or try your fibs to disguise?

Watchers

Out on Easter Island the watchers stand and stare
Waiting for the coming of someone great and fair
A visitor to deliver them from this mere mortal shell
And grant them life immortal away from a burning hell

Really?

What a journey we all take
With every breath and sigh we make
The times they change and we can't know
Until one night we feel the show
The dance that takes us through the hoops
And separates us into different groups

Home

We really had such fun tonight
It was such a welcome treat
To see and speak with those we love
Is a generally happy feat

APowers

Little minds see the world through a very different lens
They haven't been corrupted yet and terror can be merely an ugly friend
So it is wrong for us to show their sponge-like, fertile minds
The devastation of a comedy meant solely for prime time

Time

Only little time can be spent
Wondering how and where the day went
Before we fall gratefully asleep
Dreaming of skies blue and deep
Hoping always for more time
But accepting their is never any rhyme

Scam

Take your money, yes we will!
We have no conscience
We don't hold back
We line our pockets
With crip greenbacks
We offer nothing
We scheme and scam
To get your money
Anyway we can
Mobshack's our name
So buyer beware
We have no scruples
And we jus don't care

Bar

Let's blanche all our actions
Strip away our self and grace
Repaint our true emotions
And be left without a trace
No knowing why we fell
From our divine star
Into this mortal well
Where we must reach a higher bar
