Two a Day

What drives me to post two poems a day
Little green men dancing the plié?
Or maybe a monster with one evil eye?
Enormous dragons, oversized flies?

Whatever the subject, I never need fret
The ideas keep flowing, on that you can bet
Like having a baby or baking a pie
It comes quite natural for some of us guys!

What could it be, is it fortune or fame?
Or could it just be, the thrill of the game
To challenge one's psyche to write every day
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes nay!

Got some advice for newbies among us
Two poems a day is by no means a must
It's a goal to shoot at in the days up ahead
But don't lose sleep, it's nothing to dread!

Timothy Hicks Date: 5/16/2013 12:19:00 AM I get on big writing streaks... then on huge writers block. I don't know why. But before I even joined this site I had mountains of material... if I were to post everything I've written, all at once, no one would have much time to read them... lol! I'm a bit OCD and have started posting three-a-day... if I don't post in threes it annoys me for some inexplicable reason... *shrugs*... good advice to not be discouraged! The more you read the faster you will improve, in my opinion :) Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 5/19/2013 5:16:00 AM LOL I'm a two-poem-a-day man! If you post more than 2 or 3, people will only read 2 or 3. Anyway that's what I have discovered! Cheers!

Carol Eastman Date: 5/15/2013 8:25:00 AM Dragon says he's happy you put him BEFORE over sized flies... And says his fire is WAY more frightening than a monster with one evil eye... Now he's asking me why I don't write 2 poems a day about him? Sigh... See what you started.... Chuckle... I think I'd better get writting or my roses are gonna get another headache... Silly dragon!
