Fence

FENCE tall and green keeping something in or keeping something out? tall dividing crow flies over dumps old and leaning oh those heavy birds! tall and strong just a line from 30,000 feet see the house see the wall fear built

The "crow" tall and mysterious birds, but the "dump" would take away some of it's mystery, Daver. "Wall" and firewalls, perhaps built on fear, protection, or just for privacy. Well done, Daver!! Love, Mikki

No! No! Daver, the wall is to tall... lol... Isn't it funny how every fence has a meaning. I wonder what is behind the tallest and strongest fence? Beside privacy and keeping the world out... Not much war here in America, but still a fence is a fence,, 30,000feet or just 100 feet.. it does not protect much from a fight... But, it is a good seat for them birds.... thanks for sharing your wonderful poetry with us today;-) Take care and have yourself a good night ~ always* PD

I really like this one. Didn't Robert Frost or one of those contemporary poets do one like this? Awesome, Daver.

Smile ˜ What Is Fear, Dear Precious Daver? Perhaps, A Sign Of Perdition Unto Some? Smile, But Again, Well, This Stirring Deep Inside * Like A Horse Wanting To Break Through The Gate ˜ Love, John!:) ˜
