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!

It worked
The one who hardly speaks
Who accepts what's been given
Even if it reeks
Learning how to ask
Is really the very first move
Knowing when to speak
Will get you in the groove

Rainbow
To anyone who cares
To show your inner being
Let's wait and see who dares
So few can show or tell us
Of their brightly coloured soul
For fear of recrimination
For fear of being swallowed whole

Questing
Of an endless crowded square
Knowing that the details
Are often hard to share
Searching for the faces
Of those we thought we knew
Wondering now that they
Seem to be so few
Although we want to seek
The truth of history
We often close our eyes
To things we dare not see

Anticipation
Just three sleeps
How will we ever
Make it to Thursday?
Three sleeps
Just three sleeps
But it just drags on
And we have to wait.

New Day
The sun rises over this radiant dawn
Awakening us to an earth reborn
Calling us to praise anew
Reminding us of all we knew
We've got our lives because He cared
Facing pain and death when no one else cared

Quack
I long to believe your broken spiel
Your odd ideas a quaint throw back
When cures in general were a lot of hack
Indulge my whims of make believe
And I'll make your rich to be deceived

Night vision
My eyes don't see too much
A frustrating feel for me
When just trying hard to see
I guess I must accept
That overall it's a small debt
But certainly an overwhelming loss
When thinking of the cost

A hint of spring
Dripping, streaming, cleaving
The sparkle of snow fading
As the sun reclaims everything
