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!

July 4th

Stars & Stripes Forever
The motto of the brave
With daring, strength and cunning
The nation that we have saved

But do we have the courage
To keep what we have gained
Or will partisanship destroy it
With pettiness and shame?

Those who used to rule us
Were idealists to the core
But now our vaulted leaders
For themselves want simply more

Maybe the tide will turn
And this land will again stand tall
Maybe we'll all realize
That it's together we rise or fall.
