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!

New

A year has come to a close
Another petal off this rose
Hoping for far more bliss
All the heartache won't be missed.

Looking forward

When will I feel like myself again?
When will it all clear up again?
Is this the future I must face?
The progression that leave a subtle trace?
I'll bear it, yes, if I must
But in better days I have to trust

Brunch

Having brunch with everyone
Is always just loads of fun
As we sit and chat about
We all give thanks and never doubt
That it's been a very good year
And it's time to face the new without fear!

Thoughts

What do you do when the spark is gone?
What do you do when the day is long?
No one to hear a thing you say
No one to take the pain away
Only thoughts to pass the time
And make you feel its worth your dime

Merry Christmas

No inspiration tonight
Just lots of love and laughter bright

Gratefulness

So here we are one year gone by
And so much has changed in our lives
For the better we all agree
Despite our lows and occassional misery
We've been blessed far more than most
So for our comforts we raise up a toast!

Anticipation

The lights are low and the candles burn
The tree is lit, the presents packed
And the little ones yearn

A magical night for one and all
Filled with joy, we're guaranteed a ball!

90

Wow, a milestone few can reach
In life you've now got a lot to teach
You've seen more than we'll ever know
You've earned the right to choose the show

Light bulb

An idea is a funny thing
It can grow and wither
All in the same day
But those that flourish
You know were meant to stay

Just a thought

Just a post is all it takes
A few choice words
To raise the stakes
Let's just hope the sun never sets
A brazen wish in view of it all
Just not wise to place any bets
