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!

Chill

The cold has come down
Now the leaves shiver and the blossoms hide
We all watch wistfully
As from inside we hide

Innocence gone

The floor just fell away
When I heard what he had to say
Nothing suddenly made sense
Everything coloured by a twisted lens
All I ever thought I knew
Was no longer at all true
And now the hardest part
Is figuring out just where to start

Gift

A hot flash of light
Can sometimes dispel the night
But in a different space
All it does is change the pace
Suddenly the seasons shift
And you see a random gift

Planting right

Stuck, not knowing what to do
Fully wishing, I new how things grew
Thought I was doing the right thing
But it's been a very hot spring
Now it's back to square one
As everything seems undone

Stressful

I can't say what I feel
The thoughts & emotions are much too real
The culmination of what I fear
Looms ever larger as the date draws near
A scare so violent that in the past
It was an issue dealt with fast
Now it seems that I'll have to face
The fact that I might not win this race

Don't speak

Don't talk to me tonight
Everything will start a fight
I'm on edge don't know why
So just look away
That's all I can say

Summer call

A bit of air to jog the brain
Grass underfoot to ease the pain
Some earth and dirt to help with gain
And now some clouds for much needed rain

Waiting for results 2

Another type of waiting
Is being done now by a friend
Hoping that his waiting
Is finally at an end

Another week will see it
The stress of being on
Of setting goals and figures
Of praying you're not wrong

Waiting for results

A sting is all it makes
But the sting will last
Now the waiting has begun
Let's hope the time goes fast

No way to express the fear
Of waiting and waiting to hear

Let's hope it all goes well
I don't yet want to hear that bell

Karma

Thank you for your time
Kind words are never a crime
Say with grace what's on your mind
And very often what you'll find
Is that all you want in life
Will come to you without strife
