No respect is what I see
So little thought in spite of me
A small effort it all it takes
For a happy life to make

An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
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!

Not so good
This body ours but for a while
Is maleable and tough, made to slog for miles
But this very short time
We've got on earth
Is made to learn right from our birth
So the title says it all... The idea was there but not the time for a proper execution.

Bed
A see of red in front of me
Anger coursing unchained and free
This life I chose I can't go back
But these cards seem permanently stacked
Sometimes it wells and wants to burst
And in those times I think the worst

No way!
Nothing like trying to relax
When all the world wants more
Wanting to unwind is the one thing
Furthest from their minds
Although that's what the trip was for

Back home
Just three days is all it took
Just three days and the walls they shook
Now I wish for calmer days
Of going about in gentle ways
But this rocky path we have to tread
Cringing each day with caustic dread
Until these years have flown past
As we truly hope this stage won't last

Bankers
Let's fix the rates and laugh
If we're caught, we'll call it a gaff
We'll excuse our greed and plead our case
Saying that it made this a better place
The most we'll get Is a slap
We all know we'll beat the rap!
So our pockets we'll line
With your dime

Time
Can the Gods hear our pain
Or are we just calling through the rain
Up to a heaven growing weak
Allowing to strengthen that of which we do not speak
Shattering the bonds that binds Kronos strong
Is where we mortals do the greatest wrong

Raise your glass
Another season of light and love
Watching as they all catch up
Stories to tell from heart to heart
And loving each sigh as the truth starts

Slip
And now I want just no more sound
And now I want to run aground
This swiftly moving sailing ship
And of these ropes I want to slip
And move away from all these fools
And all these damn controlling rules

Yes
The songs all flow right through
Mixing emotions old and new
A long held wish to have and hold
Is now a reminder of youth gone cold
Never attempting a sullen smile
As always in truth you must walk a mile

Dance
Once upon a time we danced and the world stood still
Now we twirl around the earth and magic floods our will
To lose that sacred balance would be a most unhappy thing
As it would spell the end of me and break that glowing ring

TO Block Party
Bang, bang go the guns
Fall down all the little ones
No more days of fun and joy
No more room for girls and boys
Let's all grow up way too fast
And forget all errors of our past
Run straight ahead into the wall
Then just deny as we all fall

Circus
The circus music's playing
The clowns are jumping 'round
The strong man is flexing
The acrobats leaving ground
And so we all are watching
Sometimes pulled into the fray
Wondering at the spectacle
Having nothing to say

Week 3
Through the mists we roll back time
And find the things that once did shine
No two ways of turning around
Knowing now just what was found

Not Again!
Slip sliding down a slope
Clinging to every ray of hope
Dragging down that caustic wit
Knowing in the end you'll split
But in your wake this trail of dread
Will haunt your days and dreams in bed
For as you reap so you will sow
All I wish is that you'd grow
Clinging to every ray of hope
Dragging down that caustic wit
Knowing in the end you'll split
But in your wake this trail of dread
Will haunt your days and dreams in bed
For as you reap so you will sow
All I wish is that you'd grow

Roof rhyme
There were two couples with roofs
Who needed some builders with proofs
That leaks they could fix
With mortar and bricks
While leaving their wallets aloof!
admitedly one of my weaker efforts... :s

Chow time fun rhyme
Let's go down
To China town
Find good eats
Our hunger to drown
Then hop on back
To our small shack
With sated bellies
There's no need to snack!

Primal
The blood is flowing freely and the red wine as well
When summer's heat rises it causes hearts to swell
With voices ringing sweetly as we sway to the beat
Bodies answering primaly, responding to the heat
Let's dive into fantasy and dance with those for whom we ache
Before returning eventually to the lives that we all make

Friendsssssss
A venom tongue belies the truth
Of who and what you are
Or is just insecurity that pushes you too far?
Although we try to look away
Over again we've seen
That burn we will if too close we've been

Lament
Walk with me for a while
I'll tell you tales to make you smile
Love and hope, what was and is
Of days gone by with a tear and kiss
Now we breathe a drawnout sigh
And close our eyes up to the sky
Go back we can't so all we are
Is held in close on even par

Lullaby
Close your eyes my little one
The moon is out, gone is the sun
Let your breath even out
Tomorrow you again can run about
Now the angels sing their song
You can sleep or sing along
When you wake the birds will fly
Into a bright blue summer sky

Work
Nothing better than a job well done
Something solid on which to run
To lift and pull and work your arms
May not seem pretty but has certain charms
In the end we must make our way
For in this short life there is no delay

Lights out!
Ooooh the lights are out
Only stars to guide us about
Dark yet not thanks to minds
Working on crazy finds
Let's have make use of this chance
To claim from life another dance

Viral song
Now its your turn
Watch the stars and how they burn
Tumbling out from eye to eye
Closethem now before you cry
It won't last long, just one long day
And then be gone with break of day

Flu
A day when nothing stayed down
A day of fear wondering what's going around
Once or twice we go through this rot
Hoping to heaven 24 is all we've got
Cocooning inside we've nowhere to go
As whatever we eat we're likely to throw
