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!

Tongue-tied in F

Fiery Frank found the fumes
From Freddy's final frankfurter feast
So he fanned the flames lest they fizzled first
And left them flaming fast and fierce

Yes, it will

Bring it in
Focus and it will come
Know it in your bones
And the universe will provide

Decisions haiku

Possibilities
Abound everywhere you look
How to choose wisely?

Not yet done

Knowing that you're not yet free
Is a very stressful affair
Feeling the chains of responsibility
Can almost be too much to bear

Ahead

Move over darkness
The light is here to stay
We've gone through this before
But we've forgotten yesterday
We know the way forward
And we've let go the past
We're full steam ahead
For the wind has caught our mast

90

90 is a number
Of nuance, nerves and nectar
A remembrance of golden summers
When youth was ours forever
A life lived today
But holding on to yesterday
Hoping to repay
All our sins before we're grey

Tweet world

Spar we will
Until we've had our fill
Then I'll turn you off
And my cap I'll doff
We'll meet again
My virtual friend!

Forward!

It can really all be fun
As long we love everyone
Leave the past far behind
Press play, forget rewind

Jumble

Come to me but stay away
You know I've got nothing to say
You stand there and I'm over here
And for some reason I fight with fear
We must have met back in the past
And now we're strangers, but the bond still lasts

Mmmm rhyme

Mavis mumbled mightily
To the mangy mongrel moguls
Who mangled her many mannequins
While making movie models

Again, this is for the kiddies as a lesson in alliteration.
