Thirty Days


Thirty Days
By David C. Price

Thirty days hath I written
Tho, it seems, no one listens.
Four thousand words I surpassed
Pulled from the heart and the ass
Personal thoughts and feelings
Never before been revealing.

Thanks to Lance and to Betty,
Out of three hundred thirty
Visits to my humble poetry post,
The only people to write me a note
Thanks also to three who liked
My Facebook page links.

I said I would write a poem each day
And so I continued, even when away.
The lessons are few but one worth noting
Don’t promise to do something
Unless you’re willing to do it
When nobody else seems to care.

I couldn't sleep last night and saw your post on Facebook linking to your wonderful blog. This poem stood out the most to me. It is one I can relate to the most. To me, it was the rawness and realness that captivated my attention. I will continue to read it. You have inspired me to keep going with my poetry and to just keep writing. Thank you so very much.

A simple "thank you for sharing" doesn't seem to come close to express how your poetry has touched me. Raw. Real. Meaningful. I will continue to read your poetry. You have a true fan at heart.
