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!

Raise your glass

Another season of light and love
Watching as they all catch up
Stories to tell from heart to heart
And loving each sigh as the truth starts

Slip

And now I want just no more sound
And now I want to run aground
This swiftly moving sailing ship
And of these ropes I want to slip
And move away from all these fools
And all these damn controlling rules

Yes

The songs all flow right through
Mixing emotions old and new
A long held wish to have and hold
Is now a reminder of youth gone cold
Never attempting a sullen smile
As always in truth you must walk a mile

Dance

Once upon a time we danced and the world stood still
Now we twirl around the earth and magic floods our will
To lose that sacred balance would be a most unhappy thing
As it would spell the end of me and break that glowing ring

TO Block Party

Bang, bang go the guns
Fall down all the little ones
No more days of fun and joy
No more room for girls and boys
Let's all grow up way too fast
And forget all errors of our past
Run straight ahead into the wall
Then just deny as we all fall

Circus

The circus music's playing
The clowns are jumping 'round
The strong man is flexing
The acrobats leaving ground
And so we all are watching
Sometimes pulled into the fray
Wondering at the spectacle
Having nothing to say

Week 3

Through the mists we roll back time
And find the things that once did shine
No two ways of turning around
Knowing now just what was found

Not Again!

Slip sliding down a slope
Clinging to every ray of hope
Dragging down that caustic wit
Knowing in the end you'll split
But in your wake this trail of dread
Will haunt your days and dreams in bed
For as you reap so you will sow
All I wish is that you'd grow

Roof rhyme

There were two couples with roofs
Who needed some builders with proofs
That leaks they could fix
With mortar and bricks
While leaving their wallets aloof!

admitedly one of my weaker efforts... :s

Chow time fun rhyme

Let's go down
To China town
Find good eats
Our hunger to drown
Then hop on back
To our small shack
With sated bellies
There's no need to snack!
