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!

Choices, choices, choices

Eliminate your stress
Let your soul feel only joy
As else your eyes won't see
This is fact, not a cruel ploy

You've chosen this silly path
Picked long before you came
Seeking some such wisdom
Eschewing wealth and fame

Now when darkness is falling
And the world is lit from within
You know that there's a reason
So, you must face it with a grin

Another Spring

Hello again my weary friend
We both know it's not the end
Just another day gone by
When we smile and scream and laugh and sigh
A bittersweet pill of memories past
Watching the years slip by fast
Seeing our faces captured in time
Proving that we're not quite sublime
Those distant thoughts of immortal youth
Have fallen away for timeless truth
That we will age along with the seasons
Despite our fighting with different reasons
We're but a speck in this vast age
Searching for meaning before turning the page

Older

Another day of nothingness
Of not seeing through the dark
Waking up inspite of it
And hoping to leave our mark
Maybe one day will be different
But for now it all feels the same
Gone the days of exhilaration
Of being on top of every game
