555 Days... The Continuation

Welcome to 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe

Back in 2010, I challenged myself to write a poem or a short verse a day, and post it to a blog. 555 Days as a Poet by The Crafty Scribe is the continuation of the experiment.

I gave myself 18 months to recover from the original daily blog postings, and now, I am ready to start it all over again. Although as I was beginning in the middle of the year, I thought 6 months was too short a time after my last experience.

"If I could complete a year of poems, how about 18 months?" I thought. I worked out that would be 549 days. I could have rounded it up to 550 to included New Years Day 2014, but then I thought I'd go 5 better... to 555 days.

Why 555? According to many spiritual teachers, the number 555 is a sign of change and the flow of energy. I thought it related to the blog. I spent a year writing a poem every day, then rested for 18 months. Now the tide has turned. It's time to begin the flow of words in my life again.

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. Let's ride the waves once more.

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 Object of My Desires" (Entry 351)

Is that his voice?
He beckons me. 
I try, but can't pull away
From eye contact. 
We stare. Joined. 
Transfixed. 
His smile sparkles. 
He knows he has me. 
How could he not?
Just so beautiful,
I want him to be mine. 
I'm too weak to resist. 
I take a step towards him. 
Dare I?
My mouth goes dry
As I feel my pulse racing. 
He has my heart. 
I lick my lips
As I slip toward him. 
Closer. 
Pupils dilate. 
Closer. 
I raise a trembling hand
To stroke his smooth face. 
I'm hit by a jolt of electricity. 
Sparking blue in my mind. 
A frenzy of energy 
Ripples throughout my being. 
We are connected.
Through the ages, by spirit, by life. 
Me and this stunning object of desire. 
Me and the Crystal Skull!
