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.

"Adrift" (Entry 321)

Forgotten yacht in the bay. 
Have you had your salad day?  
The plaything of the rich or idle,  
Their interest now is at low tidal.  
Once you soared on crest and wave.  
To their currents and fads, you’re a slave. 
Bobbing boat tied and forsaken in the rain.  
Don’t you wish you were moored up in Spain?
