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!

Davy Jones

You fluttered your eye and heaved a sigh
As your body said a last goodbye
And left this precious, dusty dream
To those who helped you soar & scheme

Your songs to sing to us no more
Except in mind and from distant shore
Where enthrall you will the Elven King
Who'll watch enchanted as you sing

Much as we did here on earth
Where a hundred fold-over you proved your worth
You're stardust now, floating free
Like golden droplets on the sea

And heavy-hearted we all stand
Knowing we experienced something grand
So thank you, Ziggy, for everything
For we were honored to hear you sing.
