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!

Two weeks

Let's kick this off with a whoop and holler
We're released from the chains, the noose & collar
A mere two weeks of ease and life
No running around, stress or strife
We've made this choice and now we stand
Enjoying fruits of heart and hand

Tough Haiku

Do not say a word
You chose to remain aloof
I chose to move on

Wine

My blood ran hot and I must say
That I'm feeling really pretty good today
No longer held by worry's noose
I feel happy, free and loose
The music served to free my brain
The wine washed away that constant strain
That drags and drags and drags on me
While I just long to be set free
I hope to revel in this blissful state
Until I slip through this mortal gate

Path

Always one step behind
A straight path very hard to find
Leaving all else alone
Knowing the ills to which we're prone
Hoping for the thrill
Of having our mortal fill

Thoughts

An entitled pen
Forms characters strangely dull
But poor ones shine through

Dig

We dug in but the earth bit back
We used our soul but it gave no slack
A wonderous fight between each weed
Showing the strength that made men bleed
A gallant effort and in the end
Every ounce of spirit we had to spend

Shlock!

A little line
To pass the time
As tonight
I'm out of rhymes

Firework

Colours fill the sky
And wonder fills the eyes
Heart beats start to race
As joy shines in each face

Tweet, tweet

Here we tweet a happy song
Answering fas when things go wrong
If skies are blue
Then there's less to do
But still there'll be
Work for you and me

Long day

Devoid of word I have to say
That although now 'tis end of day
I've found some measure of peace inside
As from the tempers I've managed to hide
