today the well seems to be dry
nothing more coming up now
the old bucket looks so empty
can't even hear Timmy yell
only a breeze rustling grass
a few loud birds chirping too
no calls for help echoing up
not even that yapping Lassie
guess I will go back home
without tapping the well
open my dear fridge instead
and drink a nice cold beer
never liked that old well anyway...
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
I sit here smirking, enjoying the references as much as I enjoy the legitimacy of the thoughts. So many ideas come to mind. I like that they do...
