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!

Chaotic

Here we sit with mandates each,
Elected to serve, but power just out of reach.
We talk and turn and fight and plan
But real action a sleight of hand,
For despite the urge to shape our world,
Outcomes are bound in a chaotic swirl,
That hover just beyond our grasp,
Regardless of how we try to clasp
A future in that foggy fate
That we like to think that we can shape.
