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!

Father's Day

How do you honour the person who has always been your guide?
Even when you didn't know it and took them for a ride?
A steady, calm voice in the midst of chaos
A rational outlook in a world of pathos
A loving heart, a quiet strength
A helping hand that was always lent
A quick, dry wit and a turn for prose
A softie even if it never shows
No questions asked for you to reply
Just a constant presence by your side

Thank you, Papa. I love you.
