A Personal Note

Hello everyone!

 

First of all, this isn’t a poem (though continue to fear, I will post one today).  Instead, I’d like to ask your input.

 

I’ve been thinking about a way to continue to inspire myself, as is an issue for so many people nowadays.  As my personality would dictate, my thoughts first led to some sort of a static organization.  To be specific, I’d like to organize a few days of the week for a specific poetry style, such as Sonnet Sundays, or Haiku Fridays for instance.  I’d appreciate your input of:

A) Would you enjoy it if the blog was a bit more structured, or do you enjoy the unpredictability of the posts, and

B) What are some poetry styles, topics, or rhyme schemes you’d like to see (or see more of).

 

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your input.

 

Yours most gruesomely,

David

Writer’s Block Haikus

I’ve got writer’s block.

I can’t write worth crap tonight.

Thus this bad haiku.

 

Believe it or not,

That haiku took half an hour.

I’m just that plugged up.

 

Thus this post is done.

Hopefully I’ll be inspired.

Guess we’ll see, won’t we?

Inspiration and Haiku

I write to you, dear reader

To tell you of my needs.

I tried to write 3 posts before this

But my mind found infertile seeds.

I thought of writing of decency

A poem of colors or love.

My fingers they typed, but alas and alack,

I received no great thoughts from above.

Today I will make a petition,

Just in case this lapse happens again.

If you want to inspire a poet,

Please leave me a thoughtful comment.

To make up for this otherwise,

Rather lackluster request,

I wrote you down a haiku

That you read when you need to get dressed:

Pull you pants on first.

Next put on a shirt or blouse.

Socks go on your hands.

Welcome

Welcome, dear reader, to my blog’s first post

On which terrible poems reside.

These travesties will likely, though I don’t mean to boast,

Cause you to wish you have died.

Alas you are living, and still reading this,

A fact that makes one of us happy.

If it is you, then I manage to murmur and hiss

That I’m pleased you don’t find this post crappy.

Since this post is my first, prudent it is

To explain what this blog soon will hold.

Things that will make your mind bubble and fizz

And some amusing things too, I am told.

A poem a day is this man’s noble goal,

And I’ll endeavor my best to comply.

But the hour is late, and it’s taking its toll,

so ’til tomorrow, dear reader, good bye!
