Maybe if I start writing poems around silly days like that, it would give me "happier' poems. :D Do you mind giving us a poem written to salute those kinds of days, throwshiswords? throwshiswords, now that is really interesting!

Do you mind giving us a poem written to salute those kinds of days, throwshiswords?

Laughter can go a long way, and for me, it would be a great challenge to include more humor. Nathan, that would make one helluva tattoo, especially across your abs! Just kidding. You are such a prolific writer (and of quality verse), writing for a special occasion would be a cake walk for you. It's all a matter of what inspires, isn't it?

Yeats" is one of my favorite poems of all time. It has the great line "The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living." At one point in my life I wanted that as a tattoo. I wrote a poem for Memorial Day once but that 's the only occasional verse I've ever tried. I like the idea of writing for birthdays and weddings and occasions like that. It should happen more often.

I guess I tend to write a whole lot more poignant pieces around anything sad (catharsis indeed!). For me, poetry has always been therapeutic since it is my solace and home. I do need to try, however, to write poems centered around much happier occasions if I can. That would be a definite challenge for me!
