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!

Starting point

All new beginnings are shrouded in fear
Of not knowing what's around the corner
Of wondering what's near

But in the end when the door is unlocked
More often that not the world hasn't changed
The grass is still green and the sun isn't blocked

The only hold is the fear that was there
The thought of "can I do this?" or "Do I have what it takes?"
The greatest feat is to simply accept the dare.
