your dose of prose: tough

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!

Grade One

A cold and chill September day
A return to a familiar routine
But with new experiences and new faces too
Sometimes overwhelming in the extreme

So it is this year right now
A shock to a little mind
A wave goodbye to all things young
And hello to a more demanding grind

Path correction

The sun is shining again
We have dodged the massive rain
We got off our comfy bike
And set off on that treacherous hike
Although the going is all uphill
The sun is shining still
We've found the tools we need
And the warnings we will heed

May maddness

It's tough to face reality
When it seems so far from home
A cold hard fact to slam your face
Showing how far youth can roam
But when the drama's over
And the tides have ebbed away
Can we get over this
And return to our month of May?
