your dose of prose: December 2016

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 3^rd, 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!

Time is passing by

I couldn't stay away
Listened to your voice again
It pulled on my heart
As it always has
But this time it was with a twist
A reminder of time flying
A gentle push to a familiar face
Not yours but someone with greater power
A friend of long standing
Who's place has never wavered
But it was your voice
That reminded me
Of what I have.
