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!

All Hallow's Eve

Trick or treat is what they said
Before the sugar went to their head
Now they've crashed hard and fast
'Cuz Halloween's not meant to last

Crooner

Croon to me my songbird
Tell me of your pain
Sing to me of your long lost loves
And all you sought to gain
Carry me off with your gossamer tones
To those reaches far beyond
And allow me to dip my toes
Even just for a moment in your pond

Lil Bro

All grown up with nowhere to go
For you've already seen the very late show
Your handsome face is much older now
Yet still you've got us wondering how
You want to live and choose to act
And all of this despite the fact
That the aches tend to linger these days
The noise creates a lasting haze
We wish you well and pray for you
Since to your nature you'll remain true

Great for you and me
Over ice
Real nice
Yup, weekend's here
Let's all cheer ;)

Look inside

What's going on little brother?
Are you trying to run from your other?
No matter where you go
You'll always tag along, you know
So best to come to terms with it
Accept that you don't have to split
Stay and give yourself a chance
Instead of turning in this downward dance

The beat

Someone said we kneel at the alter
But it's so much more than that
Hearing the notes that bring us joy
Move our souls and with our emotions toy
Returns us to that forgotten place
That paradise we all come from
It reminds of where we're heading
And helps pace our steps as we're going

Simmer

A dollar a day
Should very well pay
For all the things you want

For at your age
There's but one page
That you should have to turn

Yet of that share
You have to bear
A small amount of blame

Since all we do
Simply angers you
When from it you could learn

80s punk

It's gonna be loud
It's gonna be proud
Inside we'll shout
We'll pummel and jump about
Rage to the stage
No one acting their age
Singing in the heat
Feet stamping to the beat
In the end we'll all sway
To the breaking of day

Little nursery rhyme

Little light shining brightly
Through the clouds way up so high
Watch over us morning, noon & nightly
As our lives drift slowly by

Destined choices

Can we know what was and is
The fate we all must bear?
Destiny guides are lives
But our choices dictate our share
Following through is hard enough
But knowing that our trip
Was one we chose so long ago
Makes it easier to grip
