Casserole!

Bang that pot
Let's out that rot
It's time for us
It's no mere fuss
Down with the old
Our future's been sold
No turning back
Heart, we don't lack

Digging done

Feel the dirt
The mud, the grit
A slushy pile
Where is the pit

A lovely seed
We'll watch it grow
One day full shade
For us 'twill show

Storm

Clouds clash in grey mass
Sadness floods the earth below
Wash away our sin

Sunburst

As you grow
We'll watch the sky
And wish you well
Your breath will sigh

We'll keep you close
We'll watch and wait
We'll hope for all
A golden fate

Heave

In the whisper of the grass
And the murmur of the rain
The earth speaks to the heavens
Complaining of her pain

The parasites that crawl
The ones that cut and dig
That see her as a thing
Not where they sleep and live

One day she'll shake them off
And breathe a relieved sigh
While healing all her wounds
Under a bright and cloudless sky

Swoon

Let's jump to the moon
As we watch the birds swoon
Singing songs of glee
Filled with wonder and revelry
Looking back on the past
Good thing it didn't last
We can run now through the haze
Knowing of better days

Gratefulness

Thank you for where I am
Thank you for where I've been
Thank you for what I have
Thank you for all I've seen

Thank you for those who care
Thank you for the road ahead
Thank you for lettin me dare
Thank you for all you've said

Minds

Another blazing day
Another mind to sway
Fielding little feet
Running through the heat
Jumping in the pool
Breaking every rule

Top or not

We all look up that mountain
And hope our legs are strong
But half way up we sometimes find
The path might be too long

A sunny nook might be just as good
As the coveted summit top
In fact its often even better
As you took the time to stop

Too tired

Cut me some slack
You know I've got your back

Elusive

One day we'll all be happy
One day the sun will shine
One day when we talk
It won't be one long whine

Path

Started walking with no end in sight
Now the sun is rising, shedding light
A path I see that I can follow
A fork at once both solid and hollow
Home is near, comfort is felt
Loving the hand that I've been dealt

Memories

Another go around the track
Each year is better, each year we're back
Despite the woes, despite the lies
It's where we are, it's how time flies
This is when they'll remember
And this is why each year we surrender

Go!

Let's start from the beginning
But this time lead the line
Feeling that we're winning
Is an emotion very fine

Green-ery

Green is what makes the world go round
But red is where the heart is found
Greenbacks push you to the top
While love is where the heart will stop

Scales

Trying to find a balance
Between the earth and sky
A meadow full of wishes
Of hopes both bold and shy

A twilight world of beauty
Where friend and foe alike
Feel the twist of irony
As convictions melt from sight

Is this what they talked about
When we were but floor high?
Believing all they sold us
Living the greatest lie?

Now the scales are falling
Not just for you and me
But for the world around us
Waking to stark reality

Going

When will the treadmill stop
It's getting to my head
The machine has sped right up
I feel like the walking dead

Each day my time is spent
From dawn to dusk I run
No time to take a break
No time for rest or fun

Day dream

I want to fall into
A feathered, fluffy bed
A haven of tranquility
Where I can rest my head
I'd love to spend the morning
Reading in the sun
Leisurely sipping coffee
Free from everyone

Perspective

One is happy
The other angry
One has faith
The other hate
One accepts
The other expects
One is fulfilled
The other just strong-willed
Both look ahead
One with joy, the other dread

Spring

Dreaming of a garden
Rich in green and red
Blooming with a passion
Bursting from each bed

A panoply of colour
To soothe the troubled mind
A haven of pure texture
A comfort hard to find

Let every leaf be green
Or merry yellow gold
A vision to impress
Of nature bright and bold

Liar

Why should I believe you
When all you do is lie?
Leave me all the meaning
And don't go asking why

There's no sense is asking
When the answer is plain to see
No longer will I fall for the trap
Whenever you next query me

Sunny

A little light Huzzah
To say we've come this far
No answering to a downer's call
We may some day just have it all

Stay in bed

There came a day from hell
When I could quickly tell
No matter what I said or did
I should've merely kept myself hid
For nothing was going to go well

Wheels

Looking for a ride
A chance to roam outside
Hoping for a deal
Knowing there's no steal
Picturing us cruising
At a cost without bruising

Clarity

Coming to terms with reality
Is like a punch in the face
Hoping for prolonged clarity
Seems like a good dream to chase

Sold?

Here we are on tenterhooks
Wondering what will be
Although we are excited
The future's real hard to see

A year of change has been good
A year of change has been bad
A year of change has seen joy
A year of change has been sad

Now to close a chapter
In this book we write
As we start another
Things are looking bright

A Toast

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3, 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 words out - come what may!!

 A toast to a year of saying it in rhyme
A toast to a fun way of keeping time
A toast in the morning with my cup of tea
A toast for the birds singing in our tree


    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One More Day

Yes, just one more day
Never knew there was so much to say
If every word was not ideal
Who cares? It was never part of the deal
All I know is that I'm having fun
And I may continue even after this run

Countdown

The countdown has begun,
I'm surely the only one,
In just a short three,
It will be done wonderfully,
And then it will all be just for fun!
