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!

Blank

Blank. I've nothing to fill this empty page
No thoughts, emotions, no love, no rage
With these few lines I must be sated
For this evening, no brilliance is fated

Glass

Trying to keep track of everything I do
Hoping that this luck wil always see me through
Knowing deep inside that the only certainty
Is that I'm breaking down but face it gallantly

Too much

Frozen fingers and reddened nose
Icicle lashes and ice-cubed toes
Oh winter wind won't you blow yourself out?
As we now long to see bluejays flying about

Miss J

A bit of persuasion is never remiss
Especially in matters of pride and prejudice
And in distinguishing between sense and sensibility
It is best to employ a little humility

WWK

Watching time
There is no rhyme
Wondering if
I'll fall off that cliff
Knowing why
I'll never fly

Chugging along

Oh, how we punish ourselves
To do all that we must do
Knowing our limits is not enough
When work is long and hours are few
Maybe one day we'll finally have
A chance to make it right
Until then we'll have to find
Ways to keep going without a fight

Winding

No path you take is ever straight
They all start out the very same way
But quickly veer based on each step
In directions almost never clear
In time your journey does make sense
But sometimes along the path
You can't help wonder what's going on
When you just can't read the map

NY haiku

Bright lights, big city
Feel the rush of energy
There's nothing better!

Sorry for the miss yesterday - in NY for the w/end and I don't have constant wifi access. I promise to make up for it on Wednesday! I'm still working on the poems while here.

Quiet

Oh, the corridor of quiet
That runs the soul's length
Can get quite dusty
As years are slowly spent
The silence that we miss
Is really very dear
But sadly hardly found
When young ones are near
We have lost the art of loving
That idle passing shower
Enveloped in our mind
Enjoying each escaping hour

Winter haiku

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