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!

Late August

Reaching high among the leaves
The towering birches the shading trees
A touch of color brimming now
A hint of rouge to cheer each bough
Autumn's chill still far ahead
No rustic foliage has yet been shed
But just that hint of what's in store
Of frosted eaves and winter's roar
Is more than enough to make us steal
Enough sunshine to spin this wheel
