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 3rd, 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!

A contribution!!

Hi all, here's an original contribution from the very talented Niven Muire. Enjoy!

The diamond in my eye

Such a beauty divine,
Beyond the limits of time.
Symbol of perfection,
With a look so sublime.

To the dimonds we run,
Like the glow of the sun.
So shiny and bright,
It's got to be right.

The dimond in my eye,
Has no sparkle or shine.
It's blacker then night,
Absorbing all the light.

Weighed down by the world
And the pressures of life,
It lies in the dark,
In perpetual night.

A dimond can not be,
Without the pressure of time,
Or the absence of light.
The dimonds we see
did not just happen to be.

It's so easy to love the light,
For love is light.
But the realest thing in life,
Is to crawl into darkness
and bring out the light.

-N!¥€N-

Really?

There was merriment one day
In a time, oh so far away
But it wasn't meant for me
For I had not yet been set free
I did not realize then
That such happiness would hardly be mine again
Yet such strides have been taken
That at times it feels the world's been shaken
And forward is the only way I'll look
Unless caught in a beloved book

The holidays have been stressful and busy and so you get two today instead of one yesterday and one today. I'm looking forward to the New Year.

Happy Holidays everyone and may the coming year be better than your dreams.

Resolve

Let's look back and wonder why
We did the things we did
Take stock of the year that's past and resolve on what's to come
And feel for once the words being said
While atoning for what's been done

40

40 years seems long ahead
But quick from behind
It's a bumpy path, not always smooth
But beautiful if you don't mind

Xmas ditty

Merry Christmas to you!
Unwrapping gifts is all through
And now that we're fed
We're all off to bed!

Holidays

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the land
Families were coming together
To join hand in hand
This one joyous time
Comes round every year
And enjoy it we will
For Santa is near

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Dentist?

Grey teeth smile back at me
Where white they once used to be
What happens when life hits you back
The wine, the rum and the fast track
The ciggies, the beer
The food and good cheer
Doesn't seem fair
That it's all etched right there
For all to know
Those pearly whites have lost their glow

Clutzy cutie

Another silly rhyme time!

There was a girl from Beneche
Whose feet seemed always enmeshed
She clattered about
Falling inside and out
Saying, "good grief! I'll ruin my best dress!"

Muck

Another year come round the bend
This string of luck doesn't seem to end
No matter what we try to do
It seems like something's holding onto you
Maybe in time things will change
Maybe it's a just a question of moving out of range
