Stand down all your clowns
Forget the juggling and squirting flower
The days are shorter now in fact
And you should steel against the hour
A storm brewing on the horizon
Far away yet closer than you think
A sandstorm closing in from behind
Pushing us ever closer to the brink
So grab your sword, your bow and arrow
Your dusty, sacred vestments of old
And shake the cobwebs from their bower
To face the wrath with all the fold
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!
