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!

Too tired

Cut me some slack
You know I've got your back

Elusive

One day we'll all be happy
One day the sun will shine
One day when we talk
It won't be one long whine

Path

Started walking with no end in sight
Now the sun is rising, shedding light
A path I see that I can follow
A fork at once both solid and hollow
Home is near, comfort is felt
Loving the hand that I've been dealt

Memories

Another go around the track
Each year is better, each year we're back
Despite the woes, despite the lies
It's where we are, it's how time flies
This is when they'll remember
And this is why each year we surrender

Go!

Let's start from the beginning
But this time lead the line
Feeling that we're winning
Is an emotion very fine

Green-ery

Green is what makes the world go round
But red is where the heart is found
Greenbacks push you to the top
While love is where the heart will stop

Scales

Trying to find a balance
Between the earth and sky
A meadow full of wishes
Of hopes both bold and shy

A twilight world of beauty
Where friend and foe alike
Feel the twist of irony
As convictions melt from sight

Is this what they talked about
When we were but floor high?
Believing all they sold us
Living the greatest lie?

Now the scales are falling
Not just for you and me
But for the world around us
Waking to stark reality

Going

When will the treadmill stop
It's getting to my head
The machine has sped right up
I feel like the walking dead

Each day my time is spent
From dawn to dusk I run
No time to take a break
No time for rest or fun

Day dream

I want to fall into
A feathered, fluffy bed
A haven of tranquility
Where I can rest my head
I'd love to spend the morning
Reading in the sun
Leisurely sipping coffee
Free from everyone

Perspective

One is happy
The other angry
One has faith
The other hate
One accepts
The other expects
One is fulfilled
The other just strong-willed
Both look ahead
One with joy, the other dread
