Rush, rush, don't dare stop
There is no need
Being at rest is unproductive
It's not written in our creed

An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
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 3rd, 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!

Words
Some words are sour
Like regret and grief
Some words are bitter
Like anger and thief
Some words are cruel
Like yes and no
Some words are sad
Like never and go

Wilted
Your bloom was fierce
Your fragrance bright
Your beauty filled the room
Your petals soft
Your stem firm
But your time was brief
You began to wilt
And now it's just the
Softly lingering scent
Of your perfume...Rose...anne

Wait, wait
Waiting is so hard
Biding time a trying thing
Patience is a virtue
But keeping it
Is a teetering swing

Wisp
Another day to earn my keep
Another day from work to sleep
Another song left unsung
Another hour of hands being wrung
Now look back and shake your head
Over words all left unsaid
Your presence felt from years ago
Too early did you end your show

Dance
Dance right into the song
Dance until the sadness is gone
Dance until you lose your fear
Dance until you neither see nor hear
Dance until you are the light
And dance until it's all alright
Dance when it shines and harder in the rain
Dance 'til the beat drains all your pain
Dance with the music in your soul
Dance until the rythm makes you whole
Dance until the colours set you free
And dance in the wind and beneath the trees
Dance while this world spins around
And dance until the earth is drained of sound

Rose
Five petals on the rose
Holding firm to life and love
Witnessing together all that was
There even at the close
Writing anything was very hard today. RK, thinking of you, regretting days past and asking for blessings on you and those you've left behind.

Time-lines
15 minutes to change the world
But it's much longer for thoughts to unfurl
When time is short you must decide
If you will run or you will hide

Another day
Yes, another day has ended
One minute I did not waste
Although I sometimes feel
That there's no reason for this haste
And then I look around
Remembering all the things forgot
Turn around and shake my head
Oh yeah, that's why our parents fought
One minute I did not waste

That there's no reason for this haste

The call
The stars were out tonight
Along with all of us
The warmth calling sweetly
Telling us all to trust
The days of bliss are nearing
If only for a while
With sun and summer to herald
It is but natural for us to smile
