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!

Calling the surprise

I felt a happy little shiver
As the cold ran down my back
Despite my coat and scarf
The wind found an open track
Chilling me to the bone
Yet inside my soul was warm
As I knew my voice was heard
Through the preceding ugly storm
It's always been this way
From when I was a tot
And before that I always saw
My family calling for what it got
I know ingrained within my being
That if a need arises
As long as I believe and pray and hope
Life always has surprises.
