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!

Nightfall

The ground's still wet
The sun has set
And all that's green will glow

The crickets call
The errant stars fall
While the shadows start to show

Casserole!

Bang that pot
Let's out that rot
It's time for us
It's no mere fuss
Down with the old
Our future's been sold
No turning back
Heart, we don't lack

Digging done

Feel the dirt
The mud, the grit
A slushy pile
Where is the pit

A lovely seed
We'll watch it grow
One day full shade
For us 'twill show

Storm

Clouds clash in grey mass
Sadness floods the earth below
Wash away our sin

Sunburst

As you grow
We'll watch the sky
And wish you well
Your breath will sigh

We'll keep you close
We'll watch and wait
We'll hope for all
A golden fate

Heave

In the whisper of the grass
And the murmur of the rain
The earth speaks to the heavens
Complaining of her pain

The parasites that crawl
The ones that cut and dig
That see her as a thing
Not where they sleep and live

One day she'll shake them off
And breathe a relieved sigh
While healing all her wounds
Under a bright and cloudless sky

Swoon

Let's jump to the moon
As we watch the birds swoon
Singing songs of glee
Filled with wonder and revelry
Looking back on the past
Good thing it didn't last
We can run now through the haze
Knowing of better days

Gratefulness

Thank you for where I am
Thank you for where I've been
Thank you for what I have
Thank you for all I've seen

Thank you for those who care
Thank you for the road ahead
Thank you for lettin me dare
Thank you for all you've said

Minds

Another blazing day
Another mind to sway
Fielding little feet
Running through the heat
Jumping in the pool
Breaking every rule

Top or not

We all look up that mountain
And hope our legs are strong
But half way up we sometimes find
The path might be too long

A sunny nook might be just as good
As the coveted summit top
In fact its often even better
As you took the time to stop
