Not the best, but I figured I'd try a different style. Then again, it's a very similar style, not a huge change. But it seems faster paced, in a way. Fitting for this topic.
Day 015 - Explosion - 14/29/12
It starts as a spark,
match or lighter.
Then it grows
Into light called fire.
It catches on
To flimsy things
And seems to grow
Blazing wings.
There is a sound
Loud as a gun-
Shards of fire
Bright as sun.
The blaze is bright,
The flames soar high
Shooting up
Into the sky.

Day 016 - Money - 14/30/12
Some people end up with more
And others have much less.
Who will find this wealth
Is anybody's guess.
Some people are born to it,
Others work hard.
It's so very easily lost,
So be on your guard.
Money is of human make-
We came up with 'price'.
These endless papers and coins
Are humanity's vice.
Money is the best way
For the rich to stay on top.
Everybody uses currency
And it will never stop.
Taking everything they can,
Stepping on the meek.
Keeping all for themselves-
Sharing's for the weak.
We have to use such money
To buy the things we need.
In the end, we're all simply
Prisoners of greed.

Yeah, I admit I've been reading Tolkien's poetry these paste few days, so I decided to try one of those patterns for this poem. AA(BB)A or however you would note that... The rhyme's like a limerick, though the rhythm isn't quite the same.
Day 017 - Traveling Alone - 05/01/12
Following wherever paths may wind,
Alone with no one but your mind.
Exploring alone the world unknown-
You do not know what you might find.
Though you'd do best to have a friend
If you're to reach the journey's end.
Be night or day they'll guide your way
If some aid they're willing to lend.
You never know when you might fall.
Alone, there's none to hear your call.
But a good friend's hand can help you stand
And then, indeed, you will stand tall.
Though you must face the world ahead,
If you've a friend, you need not dread-
Together you two will make it through,
Safe and sound to home and bed.

Day 018 - Irony - 05/02/12
She lived to aid all others
At no personal gain.
She wished she could lift the world
And carry all the pain.
She didn't hardly speak at all,
Silently doing right.
She often went unnoticed,
Like a shadow in the night.
Those who saw her called her 'angel',
To all she was a friend.
But one day something was wrong:
Her life was at an end.
She very slowly closed her eyes,
As to sleep she fell.
And she had nothing at all to say
When she woke in Hell.

Day 019 - Lust - 05/03/12
What is the thing called lust?
I don't understand.
Is it all the things I think
As I hold your hand?
There's a strong impulse:
I grab you for a kiss.
Desire drives me onward-
I think lust is this.
