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!

The troubling voice

I cannot listen to the voice that sings
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow
