your dose of prose: silly

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!

Green with Flashing Lights

My beautiful green and clueless elf
Nothing more enchanting than yourself
Those sincere and pleading eyes
Elicit languorous, longing sighs
While your dulcet, warming tones
Send shivers through my bones

Elly's eels

Elly's eleven elegant eels
Loved eating eggs & orange peels
Early each evening their scraps she would empty
Then heap every plate with more than plenty!

You may have noticed a small pattern here... a silly rhyme will get thrown in every now and then. The silly rhymes are part of a project I started and hope to (one day) complete - writing alliteration nursery rhymes. We'll see how it goes!

Monday's edition

So, I just posted what should have been yesterday's poem - and here is today's. A nursery rhyme to add to the growing collection.

A good and gentle gardener
Was gifted with green thumbs,
His garden grew sweet garlic, grapes,
green beans, gourds and golden geraniums!
