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!

Up and down

The good and bad are always mixed
You find the ups and fall down the downs
But up you get to face anew
The smiles that vanished replaced by frowns

Power

Greatness is forged through suffering
The best minds knew peace
But in it all, each person's destiny
Was the what gave them release

Sick

Ah the roiling sensation
Of your guts all coming up
Nothing short of disgusting
A truly vile, poisoned cup

Crutch

A story or two to warm the heart
Some milk and bread for solid start
No other measures mean quite so much
Only constant love cures any crutch

Sharp words

Sharp as tasks
Words that hack
Use them wisely
Or they'll cost you immensely

US shopping

Across the border the bargains call
We've slashed each price for one and all
Fewer taxes to pay, less money spent
Is the reason why we all went

Too much!

Neglect is hard when you're in charge
Knowing with each passing minute
The burden you wield grows oh so large

But tomorrow is another chance
A brand new start from dawn to dusk
To do those things that fall into your glance

Can't

Ah, the bitter disappointment
Of being told that you can't
Is worse when you're a teenager
When all you can do is rant

Cloak & dagger

Coded words, shrouded words
Cloak and dagger stuff
The kind of existence suffered
When enlightened minds weren't enough

Now we've swung the other way
To extremes both good and bad
Flaunting our sheer openness
Whether appripriate or sad

In the shadows the wheels still spin
Working throught the grain
Knowing that in years to come
It'll all go down the drain

Oh no!

Eyes burn
Head spins
Stomach turns
I am moving
While lying still
