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!

Greatness

Some heads were born to wear the laurels
Like Amon's son sent to shake the world
A divine mission set forth in heaven
Over a game of chess played by gods
The players helped by those they worshipped
The losers left to mend their ways
Through time and history such figures walked
Their burdens heavy, guided by fate not chance
A blaze of glory marked their passage
And human immortality to reward their load
Such merit is never without a price
And theirs is always the final sacrifice
