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!

Balance: Reality vs Fantasy

I've found a balance
Between yesterday and now
A tiny little sliver
Of time beading on my brow

Running through the fated limits
Of love and lust and life
Understanding that delusion
Can be like sharp and curving knife

Plunging now and then
When life turns a dusty brown
To wash away the cobwebs
And chase away the frown

But linger in those waters
Is something I cannot do
For it leads just to discontent
So those hours are but few

Like sacred orbs of light
Refueling reality
I know indulgence must be limited
So the pleasure doesn't shatter me.
