An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
A poem a day to keep brain rot away
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!

One Step
Let's now open another door
Ensure a runway clean and clear
While keeping an eye on all things dear

Black Widow
A little dew to draw your mate
A siren's song to set the mood
Before turning love into food

Silly rhyme grown-up time
To avoid a messy row
Put on the line
To later let your spirit shine
Find another track
To keep boredom off your back
And forget about the past
As none of this will last

Springtime!
Freeing themselves from their nascent gloom
Opening green in the growing light
Finding air to feed their bloom
Reaching up to seek and grow
Spreading out row by row
Never resting for a minute
To find their frail and approaching limit

Timeless
A savage hungry beast
That lusted after mice and men
And relished in each feast
Carving power through the years
And shoring up his strength
The monster's metal sharpened now
And cloaked by sugar and perfumed scent
Every where the mark is seen
A decaying, decrepit brand
That withers youth and all things pure
With a touch of it's ugly hand

ART
Stomp the beat carrying your feet
Spin through life with your melody
And bask in the glow of divine heat
Know the spark that lights us all
Gaze within and touch the start
Love those who gather all around
And feel the beauty of this immortal art

Late
And take me to the edge of day
Show me cares both great and small
And help all my thoughts to delay
I've grown up fast and complacent too
Wondering what the fuss was all about
Now I wish that I'd been more awake
And followed conviction without any doubts
But now I understand, I can finally see
Why all those words were spoken
And lectured over and over again
It was to stop this life from being broken

Joke night
Belly laughs clear the air
And guffaws and jokes mean we care
We gather round for worthy cause
Laugh and laugh between the applause
