My friend has betrayed me.
No more climbing trees
Or chasing green and errant leaves.
No more sprinting fast uphill
For fun or just the mighty thrill.
Gone the days of swimming all day
traipsing blithely come what may.
No more white and glamorous nights,
Dancing 'till dawn - such delights.
We were one, not any more.
We each walked through a different door.
She's chosen age and twilight's call,
While I still want to have it all.
From now until I close my eyes,
We both, each other must despise,
For I refuse to change my course,
And refuse to drink - just like the horse.
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!
