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!

Hamlet

A bittersweet memory connects me to the past
A constant crazy yearning to places that did not last
A fragile thread unspooling through the centuries
To times lost but not forgotten, emotions scattered in the breeze
One trip was clearly not enough to lay rest to what I know
The place is calling, calling to me, and I'll clearly have to go
Another time to search for the people once among my peers
Who were dragged from home and hearth amidst cruel and senseless jeers
Maybe it was the sunshine? Or even the smell of autumn in the air
That keeps me reminiscing of our glorious Sunday there
