Maka Albaran from Soul Eater

(This was the first poem I did with an old project.  I wanted to post 1 per day to keep myself creative.  Looks like I’ll be putting this 263 poems up in alphabetical order, which will be odd.)

My goal is 1 a day

For an entire year

Some would be long

Most would be short

Because my time is clogged

*

This challenge made to me

By the voices in my head

Daring me to try

Before my mind grows up

And loses all its wonder

*

I started with a rush

Believing I would succeed

A creative project

That I could achieve

Though only I would care

*

I wrote them fast

As minutes passed

My goal was to be raw

Relying on my rhythm

To carry me to the end

*

I am coming to a wall

Filled with gaping maws

Where topics swallowed whole

Before I sneak a peek

And get my muse in gear

*

I will push to carry on

Grabbing topics as I go

From news and air and friends

I strive until the finish line

Then a day I might just rest
