"Knock, knock!" said the cuckoo
The mouse said "beware"
There's a brand new blue bird
Sitting over there
"So what?" asked the possum
Hanging from high in the tree
There's always some danger
Surrounding me
"Nevermind" chimed the squirrel
From inside his cozy lair
No one is untouchable
So live each day with care
An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
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!

P words
Paula's purple peonies paled under pressure
She kept them pleased with pies and peas
And parsnips peeled with pliers!
Yes, it's another silly sort of nursery rhyme. Sorry, but it's all I've got today.

Pockets
How deep are my pockets
It's really hard to tell
Sometimes they fill up fast
And at other times they're an empty shell
Today was a good one
With bits of fluff and feathers too
A push pin, ribbon, candy stars
and a shining yellow sun!

What's my name?
She wears a rainbow gown
And a shiny purple crown
Her sun dappled hair shines brown
And her face never wears a frown
Cheeks of red
A very large head
And clearly very well fed
She sleeps on a canopied bed
Fancy free and footloose too
Her favorite colours are green and blue
She loves to paint in a a multitude of hues
And never misses any cues
Her name is mystery
But she is part of history
And a shiny purple crown
Her sun dappled hair shines brown
And her face never wears a frown
Cheeks of red
A very large head
And clearly very well fed
She sleeps on a canopied bed
Fancy free and footloose too
Her favorite colours are green and blue
She loves to paint in a a multitude of hues
And never misses any cues
Her name is mystery
But she is part of history

VVVvvv
I just have no inspiration today. So, I'll try a quick kid's rhyme and maybe the dam with unblock tomorrow.
A villainous vermin
vaulted onto the valance
venting that Venus never vied
for his visitations
regardless of his various bistro reservations!

Dexter Dumpster
Dexter Dumpster had a hamster
Downey soft and dewy too,
During dinner this vermin dared
To deck the deacon and drink his stew!
