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!

River
Here we are, swimming
Stroke by stroke we go
A shimmering river before us
A swirling darkness below
To move as best we can
From one point to the next
A flowing life of potential
Ours to choose what's best

O2013
Flowing gowns and glitter
Beauty every where
Talent, ego and botox
When frozen you know you're there!

Beyond
Although I'm fully enjoying this stay
When finally the sun does set
I hope to have reached the summit
And if anything, I know I'll find
A chance to rest and to unwind
A passage to another land
At once ephemeral and very grand

Pure cheese :p
We reached the hill
But we're not going over
Instead we're heading down
We've gathered friends
From everywhere
It's why we never wear a frown

On your marks!
When you know that no one is listening
At the end of day
No matter what we say
The fact remains the same:
We are not all playing a fair game.

Four lines long
The little ones always have the look
The face of love straight from a book
A beautiful expression of all that's new
Basking in the sincerity only known by few

Big bite
No bigger, better appetite than what you've already seen
A meager hand to feed you after all the terrors of being

Looking ahead
We've tracked the storm and have been reborn
We know the score and we're waiting by the door
No news to great but we'll still celebrate
We've heard the call and we're finally on the ball
