The 'Poem A Day' Project - Day 14 Poem by Flying Lemming

Week two’s end has crept up on me
Of this endurance poetry
And I still don’t know if I’ve achieved anything

There has been some inspiration
And a bit of sheer frustration
But I never really knew what I expected it to bring

It has been a fun test to do
And I don’t mind telling you
It’s a nice kind of way to end the day

To open up your head
And let the words all spread
And see what thoughts or rhymes come my way

They say an active mind
Will have an active body behind
And that mental stimulation is the key

To a long and healthy life
And so you don’t feel like the knife
Of time is cutting away at you slowly

And it hasn’t been much stress
Playing this rhythmic game of chess
With my own mind night after night

And it’s gratifying to know
That my mind is still aglow
Or at least give off a dull light
