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!

Swan

Let my heart beat for the very last time
Bleach my skin with bitter lime
Take me to that frozen place
Where virtue's the only saving grace
I will not cry
When my blood's drained dry
And as my flesh turns to stone
In strength and beauty I will have grown
Now grant the wish of my inner heart
So we both may make a brand new start
Forever can't ever be long enough
For this kind of wondrous, fairy-tale stuff
Quickly now the sun's going down
I'm anxious to wear this crimson crown
Where life will suddenly be extreme
But also a never-ending dream

A little tribute to B & E.
