Fall to your knees
You know why
You want to touch
But you're too shy
Smile nervously back
Despite the nerves
You've got to act
It's a future of curves
This is all brand new
The world feels thin
Like shattering ice
If you don't win
So give it your all
Let the magic begin
Make that call
And you might be let in
An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
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!

ER
Three hours later we're all fine
So happy to hear baby boy of mine
Watch your step and look sideways too
As running about is too draining to do!

Friend
Here we are again
Sitting pretty my old friend
When will we next come this way
Will we have anything more to say
I know these hours are but few
So here's a kiss from me to you

Dandy
A mess of hair with
A perfect curl pointing in
Speaking of sensitivity
But with a rakish grin
A soft and soulful gaze
From beautiful & deep, deep brown eyes
With a sparkle of mischief
Which tells us it's a bunch of lies
A modern dandy
With Yankee flaire
Bespoke strides, cuffs, hems
Wearing what others would not dare
This hasn't really turned out, but I'm too tired to try and fix it tonight!

Sigh
Let me fall into you
Lose this dream
This rose coloured hue
If I could know reality
I'd be free, the spell would break
And I'd return to normality

Still a sucker
A rising tide floods my soul
Discordant notes still make me whole
Your voice cuts through the fog and rain
Causing me such bittersweet pain
Tantalizing peeks of what you are
Glimpsed from here, so very far
But still I feel a connection there
Riding the sound waves through the air
I've waited now and the wait's been good
As it's brought freshness as it should

F-you!
Don't talk to me that way
You can have nothing more to say
Your vile, mean spirit eats away
At your soul, now turned to grey
Before too long you find
That you'll be left behind
Chipping away at the grind
Learning that it's better to be kind
You can have nothing more to say
Your vile, mean spirit eats away
At your soul, now turned to grey
Before too long you find
That you'll be left behind
Chipping away at the grind
Learning that it's better to be kind

Don't believe the hype?
Are we all being watched
From the morning to the night?
Are our movements tracked
Is there just cause for fright?
Looking all around us
It sometimes seems too real
That monsters are in control
And our fire our ignorant zeal
From the morning to the night?
Are our movements tracked
Is there just cause for fright?
Looking all around us
It sometimes seems too real
That monsters are in control
And our fire our ignorant zeal

Kid in school haiku
No homework tonight
The teacher said it's all good
What a big fat lie

Up, up!
Good for you, you're moving up
Moving on and growing too
It's nice to see the world again
Through happy eyes, not sad or blue
