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!

Stop

No respect is what I see
So little thought in spite of me
A small effort it all it takes
For a happy life to make

Not so good

This body ours but for a while
Is maleable and tough, made to slog for miles
But this very short time
We've got on earth
Is made to learn right from our birth

So the title says it all... The idea was there but not the time for a proper execution.

Bed

A see of red in front of me
Anger coursing unchained and free
This life I chose I can't go back
But these cards seem permanently stacked
Sometimes it wells and wants to burst
And in those times I think the worst

No way!

Nothing like trying to relax
When all the world wants more
Wanting to unwind is the one thing
Furthest from their minds
Although that's what the trip was for

Camp

First night under the stars
Loving the sounds from afar

Back home

Just three days is all it took
Just three days and the walls they shook
Now I wish for calmer days
Of going about in gentle ways
But this rocky path we have to tread
Cringing each day with caustic dread
Until these years have flown past
As we truly hope this stage won't last

Bankers

Let's fix the rates and laugh
If we're caught, we'll call it a gaff
We'll excuse our greed and plead our case
Saying that it made this a better place
The most we'll get Is a slap
We all know we'll beat the rap!
So our pockets we'll line
With your dime

Time

Can the Gods hear our pain
Or are we just calling through the rain
Up to a heaven growing weak
Allowing to strengthen that of which we do not speak
Shattering the bonds that binds Kronos strong
Is where we mortals do the greatest wrong

Two-liner

A long day of fun and sun
Cannot please everyone

Raise your glass

Another season of light and love
Watching as they all catch up
Stories to tell from heart to heart
And loving each sigh as the truth starts
