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!

Storm

Buffeted by the wind
Snow cooling our face
All of us together
Running this crazy race

River

Here we are, swimming
Stroke by stroke we go
A shimmering river before us
A swirling darkness below
To move as best we can
From one point to the next
A flowing life of potential
Ours to choose what's best

Ode to junk

Rolled and processed
Saturated with fats
Battered and fried
You know where its at!

O2013

Flowing gowns and glitter
Beauty every where
Talent, ego and botox
When frozen you know you're there!

Beyond

I do not fear the end of day
Although I'm fully enjoying this stay

When finally the sun does set
I hope to have reached the summit

And if anything, I know I'll find
A chance to rest and to unwind
A passage to another land
At once ephemeral and very grand

Pure cheese :p

We reached the hill
But we're not going over
Instead we're heading down
We've gathered friends
From everywhere
It's why we never wear a frown

On your marks!

Finding the right words is exhausting
When you know that no one is listening
At the end of day
No matter what we say
The fact remains the same:
We are not all playing a fair game.

Four lines long

The little ones always have the look
The face of love straight from a book
A beautiful expression of all that's new
Basking in the sincerity only known by few

Big bite

No bigger, better appetite than what you've already seen
A meager hand to feed you after all the terrors of being

Looking ahead

Hooray, hooray, it's not just another day!
We've tracked the storm and have been reborn
We know the score and we're waiting by the door
No news to great but we'll still celebrate
We've heard the call and we're finally on the ball
