Don't talk to me of yesterday, I don't want anyone to know
Or remember what I felt that day, as it wasn't meant to show
I'm growing up in little bits, I finding my own voice
But I haven't figured out just yet, to confront my choice
I will get it you will see, in time, I just need some space
And then I'll be able to look everyone in their face
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
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!

Hi again
Ah, the funny twists of fate
That throw us into situations
Where we can't foresee the repercussions!
Only as we mature
Can we see the players in the game
Ensuring the mistakes don't remain the same!

Lost
When manners counted above all things
We were then quite civilized beings
Now the free for all we see
Has resulted in vulgar company
No more polish, spit or shine
Those all belong to a more proper time

Fresh foot
Hurrah we've made it
We've passed the line
We've gathered together
To mark this time
No longer hoping for what's not
And ever thankful for what we've got
We've raised a toast to the past
With this meal we break our fast
To the future we look now
Relying on each other to get through the how
We've passed the line
We've gathered together
To mark this time
No longer hoping for what's not
And ever thankful for what we've got
We've raised a toast to the past
With this meal we break our fast
To the future we look now
Relying on each other to get through the how

2014 together
We've walked a path of love and loss
We've stuck it out despite the cost
Now as we watch the future unfold
We get to write of moments yet untold
We're growing older, yes, it's true
But yet each day feels fresh and new
Let's all hold hands as we face the year
And stick together remembering what's dear
We've stuck it out despite the cost
Now as we watch the future unfold
We get to write of moments yet untold
We're growing older, yes, it's true
But yet each day feels fresh and new
Let's all hold hands as we face the year
And stick together remembering what's dear

Goodbye & Hello
Goodbye to a year both dull and flat
A tension-less transition to stress-free days
Where each tomorrow was another today
All-in-all a year of plenty and a year of less
A year where we all felt very blessed
Although excitement was far behind
We truly enjoyed this uninteresting time
Too much grey to ever forget the past
Those crazy, turmoil-filled moments we lived
When we watched our world take a dive
I want another uninteresting year
One filled with peace and love and plenty of cheer
No more curses for those I love
Just happy days blessed from above
A tension-less transition to stress-free days
Where each tomorrow was another today
All-in-all a year of plenty and a year of less
A year where we all felt very blessed
Although excitement was far behind
We truly enjoyed this uninteresting time
Too much grey to ever forget the past
Those crazy, turmoil-filled moments we lived
When we watched our world take a dive
I want another uninteresting year
One filled with peace and love and plenty of cheer
No more curses for those I love
Just happy days blessed from above

Hindsight
Challenges all come and go
They're to test how much we know
If we step up then we're all set
But if not, then we're not ready yet
It's interesting looking back
At all those tasks that changed our tack
They're to test how much we know
If we step up then we're all set
But if not, then we're not ready yet
It's interesting looking back
At all those tasks that changed our tack

Another sleep closer yet
More excitement building
Little souls are planning
