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!

A contribution!!

Hi all, here's an original contribution from the very talented Niven Muire. Enjoy!

The diamond in my eye

Such a beauty divine,
Beyond the limits of time.
Symbol of perfection,
With a look so sublime.

To the dimonds we run,
Like the glow of the sun.
So shiny and bright,
It's got to be right.

The dimond in my eye,
Has no sparkle or shine.
It's blacker then night,
Absorbing all the light.

Weighed down by the world
And the pressures of life,
It lies in the dark,
In perpetual night.

A dimond can not be,
Without the pressure of time,
Or the absence of light.
The dimonds we see
did not just happen to be.

It's so easy to love the light,
For love is light.
But the realest thing in life,
Is to crawl into darkness
and bring out the light.
