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!

Not Just Yet

Give me a reason to let you go
And I'll give you ten for why I say "no"

The day will come, of this I'm sure
But when it does, I'll know the allure

I'll see the strength written behind your eyes
I'll see the path stretching long & wise

Until then, I grant the favor of my past
So your future success is sure to last

Only when I see these signs
I'll know we've crossed those blurry lines

Where we still tread between old and new
Wondering how and what to do

So, hold on for now, my clever one
The time will come for you to run

And then I won't stand in your way
You'll have my blessing & the thoughts I pray
