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!

Surprise!

Turn it up to 10
The heat is way up high
A curious side effect
Of time passing by

A welcome "hello there"
From a slowly waning friend
Come to shake my hand
Letting me know it isn't the end

I'm definitely awfully glad
To have received this little gift
A welcome small escape
A pain-free, lovely lift

Fingers crossed that it lingers
Throwing sun into my days
Showing that there's hope
 As the stitch slowly frays
