Best Amish Poems

Simple
people who love
God, family and neighbor.
Progress is never considered
without consulting their church councilmen.
Everyone lives by their church faith
upholding Christian rule
and living life 
Simple

Amish Sundown in the Hayfield


Heaven bright sunshine
slowly shadows 
the hand-knotted
bundles, scenting the air
with sweet blessings,
for a peaceful night.

Tragedy in Pennsylvania
      October, 2006

I watched 34 carriages 
and buggies snake toward 
three empty hand-dug graves.
		
"Our lives are shattered," is quoted
as an entire nation gazes in horror, 
and one church hosts a prayer vigil.

The iron wheels of a horse-drawn hearse
tracks...

Amish way of life,
Very simple ways,
Work from morn 'till night,
Then another day,
Amish way of life.

Family first,
In unity,
Always caring,
Community.

God-fearing,
Sabbath day,
Giving praise.

Buggies,
Horse and,

Barn....

Sister Faith took me in,
teaching me all
different practical things,
everything from canning foods
and churning butter,
milking the cows and
squeezing the udders,
sewing and darning all
of the clans clothes,
washing them all by
using a washboard,
hanging them on the
clothesline outside,
going for a horse 
and buggy ride,
plowing the fields
using an old mule,
making...

This part happened, this first part is true
But the story stretched and the exaggerations too
A trucker arrived to offload what he had to deliver
A hat and coat, avoiding a morning shiver
I was wondering about his means of transportation
I looked at the trucker and automatically knew...

A man wakes up with demons,
In his mind, he is conflicted with religion.
The Holy Bible and the Amish,
Have different views on,
Everlasting life in heaven.
He was paranoid.
He had mental illness,
He called the Bishop the Devil,
For telling lies about heaven.
All the Amish knew of his sickness,
Yet did...

So after I told the crowd
in the store that I was
not Dolly Parton,
they quickly went away
disappointed and forlorn like,
going over to the dairy
to pick up some milk,
tried to stay calm as I
noticed pictures on
the back of the milk cartons
of my former self,
then I quickly drove...

After escaping the amish clan
and returning back home,
looked like someone followed me
a peculiar looking man,
seemed like everywhere
I'd go he'd be right there,
like something out of a
stalking amish mafia nightmare,
he was kind of short
and of course wore the standard beard,
but his face resembled the face
of actor...

Snow 
Cold and white 
Like clouds in a sky 
Lots of it on the ground
Surrounding me 
As I go 
For my morning walk 

I see an Amish man go by 
On his snow plow 
Pulled by horses
With a dog following 
On the ground

And soon a...

A madman pushed me off the track, lucky not much harm
I sat in the Hospital waiting room with just a broken arm.
They handed me a form to fill, 20 genders, 10 types of race -
I tore the sheet with my good arm and walked out...

Amish families weep as they bury their

Murdered daughters; those poor

Innocent little girls torn from their lives and

Sacrificed on an altar of self-pity by a suicidal man.

Heavy hearted we watch these quiet people who

 

Take nothing from us and ask for less,

Readily forgive without question the...

Well what's going to happen when we reach the end of fossil fuel energy. 
    It's not that far away, I just wished people could see. 
You know the Amish people have been laughed at and criticized for their way of 
life....

Amish Visit the New Mall

By Elton Camp


A new mall opened in the rural town
For the first time Amish came around

The father decided the buggy to park
While wife and son inside did embark

They watched a fat old man step into 
An elevator, a thing they never...

Amish Lament 
Three times my feet were bound. 
Three times my heart was broken. 
Only once was that man found. 
But three lives 
he did leave behind him broken and unbound. 
Why did any of it have to happen. 
Is Life so hard to be...
