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.

"Just A Little More?" (Entry 546)

Turkey still to be eaten?
Leftovers brunch, or are you beaten?
Bored of cheese boards and pies minced piled high,
Or that evening buffet you just can’t walk by?
Sherry, liqueurs and brandy and port.
Too much for the liver, or ready for another snort?
A belly full of tasty, or the thought makes you pasty?
There’s still much more to munch. 
(Remember New Year’s? Another lunch!)

"Me Ol' China" (Entry 512)

Everyone needs their own mug,
or if you prefer a cup.
To take the brew, your beverage of choice.
To savour and to sup.

"Dreep Dinkly" (Entry 457)

Drink! Drink deeply!
Dreep Dinkly!
Drink! Drunk!
With joy. 
Deserve the nectar
In this moment. 
Feel the warmth it gives
And the light that shines
Within
And from your smile. 
It only appears once in ale while.

"Barman! Barman!" (Entry 412)

"Barman! Barman!
Have you any booze?"

"Yes, mate! Yes, luv!
What you wanna chose?"

"Whiskey and Jagermeister. 
Larger from the Danes. 
Vodka, Gin and Bacardi 
Topped off with fake champagnes."

"Barman! Barman!
Have you any booze?
I need to get drunk,
Inhibitions, I must loose."

"Yes, mate! Yes, luv!
I've got it by the bottle. 
Just give me cards or ready cash and
You can have the lottle!"

"Host the Breakfast" (Entry 194)

Split milk. Cracked jug.
Broken bowl. Chipped mug.
Bag burst. Cornflakes fly.
Breakfast ruined. No need to cry.
Mop the mess. Pour from the carton.
Take new cup and dish. Choose a smart one.
Grab the bread, make some toast.
Butter and jam. Happy morning host.

"Winter's Fare" (Entry178)

Mince pies and Christmas cake.
Wrapping paper and shoppers sweat.
Promise of snow, foggy morns.
Gingerbread men, let's not forget.
Cone tree pine and mulled wine.
Makes up the fare of winter's air.

*********

A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all!
Enjoy the fun and festive food, don't forget to have a ball!
