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!

Crisis

Every call comes in
Each one even crazier
I just want my bed

Van B

I've got an insect buzzing in my ear
A scourge that just won't disappear
A tiny noise that's driving me crazy
Rendering all other sound distant and hazy
Let's pray for music to drown it out
Even hearing it means to shout

Flower

Fly away tonight
My sweet little hummingbird
The flowers are gone

Toews

Hide behind your smile
Like a wily crocodile
Preach goodness and light
So keep your sins out of sight
Pretend that you care
And do what you dare
In another for years
We'll all be reduced to tears

Live

Let us live without regret
Knowing that our lives we bet
That every breath could be our last
That every day should be a blast
Why forget that we aren't real
Just emotions that we can feel

Energy

When heaven met earth the truth was real
A raw emotion that you could feel
A shy embrace that shook the sky
And answered the everlasting why?
In a burst of light the world washed anew
While beneath her skin life silently grew

Salt

Salt: for more than just flavoring
Also for craving and for savouring
For melting through icy walks
For rusting through worn out locks
For picking up a weighed down system
And giving you back your natural rythm

Trip?

Heading to the lights
To experience ever-wakeful nights
With little ones in tow
Want to share every where we go
To see the sparkle in their faces
When visiting new and far-off places
No better time to be had
To pull it off will make me glad

Dew

The dew of youth was ours tonight
For so long it had gone from our sight
But we regained that awesome glow
While basking in a surprising show
That brought to mind ages past
Of things and people we thought would last

Smile

Let's smile through the pain
That old friend who is here again
The wicked stabbing of flesh and bone
Wish it woud leave me alone
But it is my reality
And honestly, it could have been a lot worse for me
