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!

First Romance

Hold my hand, blond boy
Follow me away
We've only known each other
For forever and a day

A flame lit early on
Sheltered by shyness and age
A happy melody
Of voices lost on the same bright page

Where this leads is mystery
A path we both don't know
But a jaunty escape before us
Is what's giving us this glow

Heartache

I'm tugging at the seams
Trying to keep it all together
Why couldn't the problems be
Those I was prepared for?

Boys and drugs and music too
But no, it's something all brand new
No road map here to help us out
We're in the dark wondering what it's all about
