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!

No go

Just when you thought the wind
Would always fill your sails
A mighty calm settles down
It's something that never fails
Now the oars must come out
If we want to move
But it's never just enough
Until our strength we can prove

Daycare's over

Let's relish the quiet of an empty house
Where a breathless whisper is too loud
And the falling dust is akin to a shout

In moment's now the silence will go
In a flurry of movement and sound
Of friendships lost and found

But for now we hang on to this
A beautiful minute of utter bliss

Question?

When will we feel the ease
Of the green being full?
Of knowing that our larders
Are overflowing and bountiful ?

Odd reflection haiku

Quiet in a house with kids
Is like finding inner peace
Something very hard to do

Son

I love reading to you
Watching you live throught the words
I love enjoying the adventure with you
As we soak up different worlds

Half way there

Already half way there
Never wondering if others care
A life of which others dream
Swimming easily in this collective stream

Thoughts

A daily dish with friends
Is the best of all ends
When contemplating what we're worth
It's best not to settle on our girth

Friend haiku

A weekend of friends
Is really what life's about
Good in small doses

20 minutes

Yay! It's Friday night
Not for you, for me!
I'm primed
I'm heading for the lights
Looking for some serendipity

Butterfly

Red will heat you up
And White will cool you down
Green will still your soul
And Blue will make your whole

Black will shape the void
And Yellow will fill the sky
While Grey will bring the rain
And a Rainbow will erase the pain
