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!

Song Smith

How does it feel to have the music flow from you
To hear the melody long before others do
To see its shape and taste its colour
To own the song others would master?

Tell me, song-smith, what's in your veins
How the ease that gives others such pain?
Is it merely divine inspiration
Or hours of toil and perspiration?

Whatever the secret of your success
Know that I consider you blessed
You hold a magic in your hand
Without which our lives would be ever so bland.
