Loving you in all your forms
Praying for this phase to pass
Knowing that such things
Likely will not last
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
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!

Choices
Decisions, decisions! But what to do?
Shall I purchase the red or blue?
Or what if I forgo the tried and true
And try something just altogether brand new?

Another season has gone by
A baby no-more, it makes us sigh
A young lady now standing here
Starting a new, exciting year

Here and now
A brand new look for another year
We've moved beyond what we hear
Now we accept that we're all together
Let's enjoy the the now, it won't last forever

Presence
I know that you're there
Even if you do not care
I love that you're around
Creating all this beautiful sound
A world without your presence
Would lack an important essence
Even if you do not care
I love that you're around
Creating all this beautiful sound
A world without your presence
Would lack an important essence

Six today
Happy birthday my shining star!
We're so glad for what you are
A smiling soul to fill our days
With laughter, hugs and silly ways

Immortal? Really?
Never have I ever
Heard of such a thing!
Wishing for forever
Has a caustic ring
No one should really
Want for more than this
Unless its for eternity
In a state of oneness bliss

Sick bunny
Bunny is sick, she's not feeling well
But inside she's hopping,
She's got no time to dwell
On upset tummies or feeling way too hot
She's got games to play, pictures to paint
And it's hard getting her to stop
Even just for a while so her body can heal
Forcing a nap is a really big deal!
Yes, it's hard getting a little one to slow down - even when they're sick!
But inside she's hopping,

Forcing a nap is a really big deal!
Yes, it's hard getting a little one to slow down - even when they're sick!

Changes
How life changes
in the blink of an eye
All we plan and do
is nothing more than try
We control nothing
although we believe we can
Since all is clearly fated
a part of a bigger plan
in the blink of an eye
All we plan and do
is nothing more than try
We control nothing
although we believe we can
Since all is clearly fated

Dreamland
A heaviness rests on my eyelids
Pushing them downward
Sandy grit burns my eyes
Reddening them for the world
A misty fog settles in my brain
And the world seems to recede
My body is saying that it's time to sleep
But it's only early afternoon
The battle wages on
Every day a struggle
Until the torpor passes
And the clouds leave
And the clock starts to tick. Again
