your dose of prose: time

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!

Looking back

I fear that I've forgotten
How bold and brave I was
Back when I was just a youth
Following my very own laws

Now I look back and I see
A cautious, retiring frame
Someone more preoccupied
With living a life most tame

Is it that time marched on,
Leaving me wiser now?
Or is it the younger faces,
Cowing me by showing me how?

Here and now

A brand new look for another year
We've moved beyond what we hear
Now we accept that we're all together
Let's enjoy the the now, it won't last forever

Blink of an eye

Watching old videos of when you were young
Wondering what happened to everyone
All too quickly you're now hard and soft
Already thinking of your own loft
Gone the days of hugs and cuddles
Of tickles, tantrums & jumping in puddles
Now its friends and girls and boys
The newest fashion & electronic toys
I wish, I wish, I wish again that I had spent
More time & love, and that I'd made a bigger dent
