Eileen Manassian Poet Sedoka

I Have Built the Wall

I have built the wall
With my hands I laid the bricks
Mortar mixed with blood and tears
I built the wall high
You could have hidden the bricks
This wall will never crumble

Richard Lamoureux November 27, 2015 at 2:09 PM Eighth page eighth poem and the eight word is "hands". Now I'm going to see if there is a poem titled "Hands".

Harry Horsman September 7, 2013 at 3:42 PM walls can be so strange Eileen, but this one, that never crumbles, tells me it is strong yet ever so human, one which does allow the emotions to penetrate the readers mind....one which is a awesome read....

Richard Lamoureux September 6, 2013 at 5:34 PM Drake wins the award for best comment. I agree but lack his eloquence.

Shane Cogan September 6, 2013 at 5:22 PM Very powerful words. Thanks for sharing!

Poet Tacito September 6, 2013 at 8:39 AM Let the resilience SHINE! Mold it with your heartbeats. Glue it with your voice. Coat it with your breath. Magnificent message! Eileen Manassian September 6, 2013 at 4:10 PM I love your post, Drake...It is amazing! I will...hopefully...I'm a bit tired right now...Perhaps I'll be more chipper in the morning...Thanks for being there for me...

Jack Ellison September 6, 2013 at 7:21 AM These words describe a very strong woman! "This wall will never crumble" You are quite a lady, Miss Boop! Warm thoughts and hugs, Kenny xoxox Eileen Manassian September 6, 2013 at 4:13 PM Well, that is what I'm trying to project, my dear Kenny...I'm not strong at all...Bit of a marshmallow type...easily squished out of shape! Thanks for the visit...HUGS!

Lucilla Carrillo September 5, 2013 at 8:07 PM I like the poem, If I could mix cement - I would build a water fountain and add some bricks too. Thanks for sharing.

Richard D Seal September 5, 2013 at 5:31 PM I've heard about these walls before, it's funny how women become master builders when they get a little upset yet can't put up a shelf lol. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian September 6, 2013 at 4:08 PM You are right, Mr Seal...You caught me out. False bravado...I can't put up a shelf....I need me a handy man for that. Thanks for the post
