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!

One day

Today's offering is in honour of "One Day" - the fabulous book by David Nicholls that is now a movie starring the beautiful Anne Hathaway as Emma Morely and the very yummy Jim Sturgess as Dexter Mayhew. The poem should actually be sung to the tune of "somewhere over the rainbow."

One day off in the future
The stars will align
And then Dex and Emma'll be together
Yes, how their love will shine

(chorus)
When Dex met Emma the gods were cruel
Because it was the end of school, it's true
What should have been a one night thing
Instead became a constant thing...
Best friends through and through

But that day in the future came quite fast
And our wayward lovers were joined together at last
Alas author David Nicholls knows quite well
That happy-ever-after does not sell
And so our lovers are parted, in a way I know I shouldn't tell

Saw the movie tonight with my own Dex. It was quite good despite the reviews.
