how would you describe yourself
if you were given just one chance
would you be strong and sturdy
like a great and powerful oak tree
would you be kind and gentle
like an early morning spring rain
would you be loud and overbearing
or would you be meek and timid
I want to stand tall and straight
strong before the winds that come
providing shelter from the storms
and shade from the heat of the day
like the mighty oak in the forest
never loud but always there
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.
There is a part of me that wishes this could be written with some kind of rhyming/rhythm pattern.
