A poem a day keeps the mind at play.
What’s this all about?
Every night at midnight (Mountain Standard Time), a new topic is posted. Your job is to write a poem that day that has to do with the topic. Post it as a comment under that day's blog post. Repeat the next day! Your don't have to be a great poet to join. We're definitely not...We just created a Facebook fan page!

looks nothing like the first

building bridges
slowly, carefully,
paying attention
to the craftsmanship
bridges that go to places
full of people
and then
with the wrong words
you set them alight

A wasted night
Full of facts and figures
Is not justified
By the “F” of the paper

unbearably so
has this endearing endurement go.
distances trespassed
then can i barely grasp
a glimpse
a hold
my hands gone cold.
traces of patience passed
desperately i clasp
on to shrinking dreams
they are reality’s edges and seams
graciously,
solace beas
upon my weary head
and until- all has been done and said.

made it to heaven.
Welcome to hell.
