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!

Quiet Place

I have a private life
It's one you cannot see
It's right there inside my mind
It's only meant for me

It has a lovely garden
Filled with greens and reds and blues
And a lonely beach at sunset
For my secret personal use

A mansion there stands glowing
With rooms of now and then
Of fantasy and fiction
Of friend and foe and ken

In this world my eyes can see
As brightly as before
But with more clarity and vision
It's where I am for sure

Those who enter in
Are fleeting and very few
They come by invitation
For if they only knew...

But now I've said enough
To stir the mind and soul
To let it be presented
You see only part of the whole
