A VDay dance to lighten the mood
Music, wine and lots of good food
Friends and family all gathered around
Enjoying the evening and waves of sound
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
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!

14 straight
Waiting for the comfort of a whispered cure
A moment in time clean and pure
A hug and wish for all that's best
With nothing ahead but a well-deserved rest

Minstrel
Check the tears that slowly shine
Clear the stars from the deepening sky
And answer me truthfully the greatest Why?
Is it to stand on one's two feet
A battle grand in mind to beat
A gauntlet run to learn the few
Those lessons that will make us new
Help us bridge the schism deep
That keeps us up and makes us weep
Sing to us softly of times gone by
When we were young and not prone to cry
Guide us through to the other end
So we can meet again, my friend
Your soothing song a lullaby
That heals our soul and answers Why.

Ha!
But then with words check that rise
Say the things you know will pierce
And keep me from breaking free
Then with smiles we pretend
And hope that things go on again

Bday Me
Another decade brand spanking new
Let's waltz together
Through the misting dew
We'll clear our heads
With cider and chance
As we spin together in this happy dance

Patience
Than it is right now?
To make the rounds go slower
Stretching from stern to bow?
Tell me to be patient
That I'll gladly do
Until the mighty forever
Comes shining through and through

SB28
Cheer as you will
We'll attack the swill
And talk through the score
Before heading out the door
No fancy spanx for us
We're amazed by the fuss
But enjoy the night
It's the big boys' fight!

Past pleasure
Enjoying the up only chords can bring
Falling into the past of notes swirled together
Of emotions felt when we were younger
Lovely days of bliss and pain
Wondering if and what and when
Knowing only what our friends said
Living life outside, not in our head
