a poem a day
keeps the psycho-oligist away
or maybe it just keeps them in pay
anyway
who's to say
after all it's only word play
but hey,
someone's gotta' say
what has to be said
before they're dead
each book needs to be read
otherwise it just goes to your head
and you forget where you've been lead
just a book unread
and you're dead
a poem a day
keeps the dr.'s away
or in pay
anyway
you have to say what you have to say
after all it's only word play
just write
it may not be right
but it's outta' sight
when you get it right
the words shine bright
like a shinin' light
or it maybe wrong
just sing your own song
as you go along
find where you belong
after all,
soon it'll be gone
and you'll fall
into eternity
that be the way it be
that be poetry
a poem a day
it's just word play
anyway
what can i say
happen's everday
to me
sometimes it's late at night
when there ain't no light
that's when i write
try as i might
words won't come to me
until i see
until i be
there in the mornin' light
sometimes i ain't too bright
i lose sight
of who i be
then i see
words that are poetry
words that are me
so a poem a day
comin' my way
what can i say
i just pray
for poetry
that just be
me
in my poetry
just a poem a day
a little rhyme
to help pass my time
to help me go my way
without havin' to pay
too much of a cost
for all that i've lost
along my way
just a poem today
comin' my way
that's all i have to say
and keep on writing your poems, steve! i may not comment as much as you would probably like, but i really do like your poetry! thanks for sharing!
(((HUGS))) and love, your tx. friend, karen lynn. :D
the reason i don't comment so much on your stuff is because there are too many good ones here at the den! i don't rate but a few on a very regular basis, and i am lucky if i hit all the ones i enjoy! so if you don't hear from me often, please do forgive me.
Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.

A bad poet your are not,
Poetry is good for the soul,
So go out and take a stroll,
And compose a new one to extoll...
Another great one by the master of backwoods poetry...Peace, Ed & Rufuz
