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!

Minstrel

Sing to me softly minstrel mine
Check the tears that slowly shine
Clear the stars from the deepening sky
And answer me truthfully the greatest Why?

Is it to stand on one's two feet
A battle grand in mind to beat
A gauntlet run to learn the few
Those lessons that will make us new

Help us bridge the schism deep
That keeps us up and makes us weep
Sing to us softly of times gone by
When we were young and not prone to cry

Guide us through to the other end
So we can meet again, my friend
Your soothing song a lullaby
That heals our soul and answers Why.
