your dose of prose: sad

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!

Orphan Girl

How far from grace can a person fall
Knowing that you once had it all
But choosing always the meanest route
Dwelling within the refuse shute
Making choices you know will fail
Lying, cheating, hoping for bail
Your learning curve stunted now
Your life on earth a shattered vow
Yet through it all you're still loved
As long as you accept God above

Angry

Gone the smiles and laughter too
Scowl and burn is all you do
Never happy anymore
And yet you keep on wanting more
It's getting hard to absorb it all
It's slowly building a dense wall
