2010 - 365 Poems

My Year as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe

This is an experiment to write a poem or a short verse a day, and post it to this blog.

I'm not a trained poet, just an enthusiastic scribe wanting to create something new each day. I don't truly know my stanza from my meter, but I hope to improve and get my poetic license someday! Expect the weird, the strange and the inner workings of the Crafty Scribe's mind.

Please pass on the blog address to all your verse and lyrical loving friends. I hope you will join me, and read my daily scribbling.

"The Corner of My Diary" (Entry 79)

On the corner of my diary, 
There is a perforation. 
A quarter circle to tear away, 
After each eve’s termination. 
Twenty four hours tick by. 
As that time is done. 
Then rip the edge to reveal a bite. 
A place to rest your thumb. 
Tattered paper fragment scatters, 
Represents bygone days. 
All that is left for you to see, 
A passing of your ways. 
As each page turns and eaten up. 
An empty chunk is all you see. 
Of a life slowly gnawed away. 
Dates pass into memories and flee.
