My quest to write one poem a day
Can really be looked at in this way:
Once per day I really need
One good idea as a seed,
And yet I crank out poems like this,
And some will hit while others miss.
Then I look at Hollywood
And my ideas seem pretty good.

Just because you can
Doesn’t mean you should.
Sometimes a bit of faking it
Will lead to something good.
Take football for instance,
Fourth down and five to go.
Sure, you can punt the ball,
But it makes a lousy show.
Likewise, if with your partner
You’re perfectly free to
Wear those dirty sweatpants, but
Why not show the very best you?
So run the ball and dress the part,
And let the record show
That it’s the corners of your mouth
That show far you can go.

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
