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
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!

New
Another petal off this rose
Hoping for far more bliss
All the heartache won't be missed.

Looking forward
When will it all clear up again?
Is this the future I must face?
The progression that leave a subtle trace?
I'll bear it, yes, if I must
But in better days I have to trust

Brunch
Having brunch with everyone
Is always just loads of fun
As we sit and chat about
We all give thanks and never doubt
That it's been a very good year
And it's time to face the new without fear!

Thoughts
What do you do when the spark is gone?
What do you do when the day is long?
No one to hear a thing you say
No one to take the pain away
Only thoughts to pass the time
And make you feel its worth your dime

Gratefulness
So here we are one year gone by
And so much has changed in our lives
For the better we all agree
Despite our lows and occassional misery
We've been blessed far more than most
So for our comforts we raise up a toast!

Anticipation
The tree is lit, the presents packed
And the little ones yearn
A magical night for one and all
Filled with joy, we're guaranteed a ball!

90
Wow, a milestone few can reach
In life you've now got a lot to teach
You've seen more than we'll ever know
You've earned the right to choose the show

Light bulb
An idea is a funny thing
It can grow and wither
All in the same day
But those that flourish
You know were meant to stay

Just a thought
Just a post is all it takes
A few choice words
To raise the stakes
Let's just hope the sun never sets
A brazen wish in view of it all
Just not wise to place any bets

Count down to Christmas
Such a sparkly, pretty sight!
Let's all join hands like in the book
And sing together with a catchy hook
The best time's coming around the bend
When joy & pleasure never seem to end

Getting closer
Another day closer to the end
It's been greater knowing you, friend
But maybe we'll make it through
And help to start this world anew
Fine line
Insanity is a state of mind
In which genius can reign
But so too can evil and finding balance
Is the ultimate game

Yul-tide
A dusting of snow to set the stage
Bows and tinsel are all the rage
A drink or two to break the ice
And colleagues talk of all that's nice

Get over it!
To world it's a farcical show
To rant because of entitlement
Is the curse of advancement
Thinking the world revolves your way
Is the saddest thing to say

Too bad
So many years along
Doesn't really make sense
And seems so very wrong
An attempt to regain the world
When it's clear that you have slipped
A fallen angel now walking around
With burnished wings that have been clipped
Go back to what you were
And give us what we crave
Then all the adulation
Will come crashing down like waves

More thoughts
Again the question begs
Did we witness something grand
Was the dot a star, a friend or foe?
Or was it merely something bland?
Maybe one day we'll know
Maybe the dark will start to glow
Or maybe we won't care
Because we'll finally see what's there.

Alone?
Are they really here
Or is it all just fear?
Do MIB save our hides
Or is it something more contrived
One day we might know
For now the seeds of doubt we'll Sow

Reflections in
What does it feel like to watch your body decay
Knowing that your best is slowly slipping away
Feeling youth's vigor diminshing with each blazing dawn
And knowing that your strength is now more pen than might and brawn
We'll all feel that approach far quicker than we know
Since a lifetime is but a blink in graxious gaia's shadow

Starry skies
A starlit sky or more of me?
Alone with your thoughts, your eyes far away
Wish you'd voice your heart and make my day

Looking back
To be the way I am
But maybe long ago I chose this
A quest to learn everything I can
I know for me it's not the end
No matter where I go
I've several lifetimes yet
I assimilate all I need to know
I felt the decision early on
When I chose a different path
If I had stayed on the spiritual
I may have not needed to come back
As it stands I'm sure
That the future of my soul
Needs to mature greatly
Before being considered whole

New tech
Brand new toys are so much fun
They seem to fly for everyone
No more squinting down at you
A larger screen displays true
And now another three years I'll be
Making the the best use of you and me

Careless
One that builds resentment slowly over time
Think before you act, because your double standards
Are seriously affecting your shine

Here we go!
But this time we all go together
No one'll be left behind
Because we're damned - brother and sister

Changing times
When people would talk, dream and sing
Now with gadets galore
Those quiet hours have an electronic ring
