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!

Back

As you may have noticed, I've been rather quiet this week... I was away on a camping trip. There was no wifi and the roaming charges would have seriously dented my wallet, so there were no daily updates. As we just got back, I'm not ready to post any rhymes tonight, but I promise to be back as of tomorrow! Good night...

To the Wee Free Men!

The words all run together in a flurry of the best
A merry round of banter so different from the rest
No greater force than what a mind produces when given a chance
No purer art or character than those in this crazy dance

Seasons

The northern wind is blowing now
Gentle yet but cold somehow
Reminding us that the cycles change
And pushing us to expand our range
For winter's frost is future dust
So live for now is what we must

Down time

Shut up is all you say
Calm down is what you need
Anger from break of day
But peace is a spul's best feed

Sway

Dancing through a golden sea
Breathing deeply the chaff and wheat
A merry round of harvest bliss
Found early before the autumn mists

Visitor

Under skies of blue and yellow
We wafted through soft and mellow
Drinking in the lazy day
And letting each have their say
Sharing with new and wondrous eyes
Our favourite haunts under these skies

Bunny

Big girl is crying
Big crocodile tears
Asserting to us
That she's lived enough years
To stay up as late
As she wants in this case
To finish a flick
About a slick, stylish ace

Ring bling

Let's step up to reach that ring
That shiny one that reeks of bling
We all are vying for that same thing
In our own corner, in our own wing

Babe

All around we all know love
From the earth below to the stars above
Our ring of life we share by breath
And renew ourselves with every death
So join together now to sing
A joyous tune with a merry ring

Happy rhyme

A little laughter, a little cheer
Always drove away our fear
For some time to revel
Really is the best way to dwell!
