I took up the challenge, with gusto and pride
For the next thirty days, I was set to abide
To create on the hoof, or create at my desk
A poem a day, that would be statuesque
Some days words would flow, with delight and accord
On others I would feel, like a veritable fraud
There were sandwiches prepared, that were fit for a Queen
The importance of reconciling, with all that had been
I remembered my lover, wondering where he was now
Felt the warmth of the sunshine, upon my smooth brow
I considered the advice, of what others thought best
I couldn’t sleep due to nightmares, was unable to rest
There were unconscious connections, abound between friends
And what I would do, with the global dividends
I encouraged all to wake up; go out seize the day
To be vigilant of individuals, who get in the way
There was the woman who created, her very own demise
To live with integrity, means no compromise
Tensions were broken, and then calmness did reign
I suggested frivolity, can help you keep sane
There are friends to avoid; we all know the type…
I didn’t care, to care, and took a moment to gripe
I suspended old beliefs, within the cosmos of space
Letting life simply play out; we are not in a race
In a grand banqueting hall, was more mention of food
A reminder that we’re enough, and should all be valued
That by knowing our truth, we become our own master
And that when loneliness comes, it is not a disaster
In finding your own rhythm, you will dance to your beat
So don’t do too much thinking, or vocally excrete
So I thank you for reading, for all taking the time
For a month full of prose, of which, some did rhyme.
