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!

Train gang

How can a stranger
Toss around your life
When you are just recovering
From calamity and strife?

In trust you left your house
Knowing friends have died
Hoping for the best
But dreading what's inside

Leaving all in faith
That you're all being watched
Trusting that your home
Would remain secure and latched

A runaway locomotive
Ruined all your dreams
And added to the injury is the insult
Of vandals ripping at the seams

Now let us pull together
And shatter those twisted youth
Who felt that such destruction
Was warranted and not uncouth
