Best Come Down Poems

I have come down from the mountain
The mountain of my youthful days
I have stumbled along the rock strewn path
The path of life that leads downward toward my final days
The long journey has rendered me bruised and battered
But I have found a trove of treasure along...

The grass is green and the sky is blue
The sun is hot and the rain wets you
As the sun rises the day is new
This we're told but is it true?
Ice is cold and fire is hot
Green is for go and red is for stop
Down is...

with paper tigers
  a bear with many tentacles
red everywhere

  clouds streaming down

  pavement-red trees ripe for slicing
 and many motored mobiles moving
i see these incessant seas of disease
in roving throes of twos...

Beautiful Lake Erie bound by New York 
Romantic honeymoon, bottle and cork 
It went up with Viagra 
spilled unlike Niagara 
racing fast to arrive before the Stork!

What Goes Up, Must Come Down
Sponsor: Catie Lindsey

~Different beliefs can be a blessing~

He was born on a chilly Saturday afternoon, sweet boy with lots of love,
we all knew he'd be very special because he had come from up above.

Tiny toes and a wrinkly face, such...

Fly
high
above
Consequence.
Make your great escape
on a psychedelic carpet
through humdrum clouds of mundane life,
to a state of "I don't give a damn" euphoria.
Throw caution to the wind with the plunge of a syringe and no thought of it's cleanliness.

Now,
come
crashing 
back down through
a fog of regret,
to the diseased...

In that spark, at summit
When sky is just on the way and is not the limit
Like lime being squeezed out of last drop of juice
As throne and king, in sweet affiliation, never in truce
High up taunting the call of gravity
Columbarium in tornado, reunion with plummeting...

Like a sun goes up each time when morning comes
It sets in the afternoon as starry night is about to rise
So I started to think when will this cruel man fall?
Plays like a kid making the city like his toy
People yelp in pain for they...

When stuck at home for convalescence 
For prose or poem choose acquiescence
Scribble a thought about what is what
Soon you’ll be caught, and boredom forgot...

Come Down
by Michael R. Burch

for Harold Bloom

Come down, O, come down
from your high mountain tower.
How coldly the wind blows,
how late this chill hour ...

and I cannot wait
for a meteor shower
to show you the time
must be now, or not ever.

Come down, O, come down
from the high...

What Goes Up Must Come Down



Up, up, and away the Marvel Comics Super Hero chants as 
brother and sister watching squeal in delight! 

The boy jumps up, pillow case laying across his back and tied at the neck
for a cape and starts mimicking flying as...

No sun, no moon, for Christ will be the light;
new earth, new heaven, minus death’s cold smirk.
No locks nor keys, no cause to be up-tight.
Unbalanced minds are absent – not one jerk.
Just folks who find their pleasure in God's work.
No greed, disease gone,...

Got invited to a gathering
Many people of faith chattering
Worshiping praising and blessings
I committed myself felt a calling
So I wondered and wandered down the aisle
Found myself at the altar
Fell to my knees, didn't falter
Wasn't ashamed if people were watching
It's all bout' my soul I was encouraged
Lord,...
