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!

Primal

The blood is flowing freely and the red wine as well
When summer's heat rises it causes hearts to swell
With voices ringing sweetly as we sway to the beat
Bodies answering primaly, responding to the heat
Let's dive into fantasy and dance with those for whom we ache
Before returning eventually to the lives that we all make

Friendsssssss

A venom tongue belies the truth
Of who and what you are
Or is just insecurity that pushes you too far?
Although we try to look away
Over again we've seen
That burn we will if too close we've been

Lament

Walk with me for a while
I'll tell you tales to make you smile
Love and hope, what was and is
Of days gone by with a tear and kiss
Now we breathe a drawnout sigh
And close our eyes up to the sky
Go back we can't so all we are
Is held in close on even par

Lullaby

Close your eyes my little one
The moon is out, gone is the sun
Let your breath even out
Tomorrow you again can run about
Now the angels sing their song
You can sleep or sing along
When you wake the birds will fly
Into a bright blue summer sky

Work

Nothing better than a job well done
Something solid on which to run
To lift and pull and work your arms
May not seem pretty but has certain charms
In the end we must make our way
For in this short life there is no delay

Lights out!

Ooooh the lights are out
Only stars to guide us about
Dark yet not thanks to minds
Working on crazy finds
Let's have make use of this chance
To claim from life another dance

Times haiku

Interesting times
Make my heart race fast and hard
I enjoy quiet

Viral song

Now its your turn
Watch the stars and how they burn
Tumbling out from eye to eye
Closethem now before you cry
It won't last long, just one long day
And then be gone with break of day

Flu

A day when nothing stayed down
A day of fear wondering what's going around
Once or twice we go through this rot
Hoping to heaven 24 is all we've got
Cocooning inside we've nowhere to go
As whatever we eat we're likely to throw
