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!

Whirlwind

Let's pick you up and go from here
A whirlwind trip of two much freer
Let's talk and talk and laugh and learn
And sit under the sun until we burn

True

Speak not unless freely
Of all your heart holds dear
If you suppose I'm not worthy
It will bring me fast to tear

?

Let's all forget to play
Forget the end of day
Let's just wallow
Until it's tough to swallow
Then turn around once more
And walk right out that door

Spring

Ahh, the quirky quests of spring
When all young hearts do sing
The air ripe with floral scents
And minds filled with innocence
These days are worth their weight in gold
As of them so many tales are told

Fly

Someone is watching
This I know
Someone is planning
How I grow
Each step I take is a pleasure
Each mistake a guarded treasure
From here I find out how and why
From here is where I learn to fly

Bro

How many arrows can you dodge
Before one finds its mark
How many hearts can you break
Before being trapped in the dark

If life is more than one long sigh
Then you have to really wonder why
Such actions continue blazing through
With grief and regret the result of what you do

Choosing

Here we go round the mulberry bush
When there's bad news you have to push
All feeling aside and use your head
Knowing each time a small part's dead
But all in the end we all can see
Except for he who acts most cowardly
Turning away from what we know
Is how the blackness continues to grow

Non

Live the life you have
But
Love the life you live

Thoughts

In youth we stand together
Grown we stand alone
Sometimes it gets reversed
When it does it cuts to the bone

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
