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.

"Who Knew The Dalek?" (Entry 407)

Cavernous airplane hangar boasts
(bigger on the inside than out) now hosts
Dalek meeting, a new convention,
taking place in this dimension!
TARDIS lands and conceals
Between Concorde's mighty wheels. 
Multiple Doctors from Gallifrey, WHO all gathered as one for this, a fun day. 
Raise sonic screwdrivers high in starry salute. 
Exterminate sadness, proudly wear your spacesuit. 
Universal beings from fantasy spheres
join together to give 50 cheers!

Massive congratulations to everyone involved with "Exterminate!" at Fleet Air Arm Museum at the weekend. We went yesterday and had an amazing time. Well done! 

Massive congratulations to BBC's 'Doctor Who'. The television programme will be 50 years old in November. I'm sure there will be more 'WHO-niverse' related poetry to come!
