Best Elevator Poems

Walls are closing in,
everything seems small
the space is diminishing
heart is racing
struggling to breath
it’s so warm

I need to get out,
crowd seems to get bigger
everything is closing in on me
I’m probably going to die in here
somebody save me
someone open the door,

flickering lights a threat 
that darkness is...

Smooth Elevator Operator
I truly am a smooth operator 
When I let one loose in the elevator
If it’s only me there my air blows free
Have got my own detonator you see.

Able to let fly with such immense pride
And can play a fine tune from my backside
That...

I am stuck in an elevator with Cher, Tina Turner, Bette Midler,
Pink, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga when
Liza Minnelli drops in from a tiny opening in the roof.
We all scream “LIZA!” and then we whip out our instruments.

To be fair, I do not...

A clown car or an elevator?
A forest or a meadow?
Sad or happy?
The choice is yours.

Pink polka dots or Linen Gray?
A kitchen accident or a freight train?
Joyfulness or Melancholy?
The choice is yours.

A magical kingdom or a jail cell?
Pie or cheese?
Excitement or Boredom?
The choice is yours....

First you got an alligator.

Next came a giraffe.

Lions ride your elevator.....    Bears hide in your bath.

Bunnies...

   Chimps...

            Raccoons...

run amok through all...

Stop by for a six-pack of beer
‘Hello!’ Smiles the pretty cashier
‘May I see your ID?
(Are you KIDDING me?
You just made my day AND my year!)

‘Store policy’ She says with a blush
(Is she FLIRTING? Does she have a crush?)
Intuition grows crisper
When I hear a soft whisper
‘Anyway,...

Elevator, elevator
One of the most awkward places you can be
Standing, crowded much too close to me
Should you say hello or just keep to yourself?
So you stand there stiff resembling a doll on a shelf
Elevator, elevator
A sudden stench encompasses the whole box
People look around like they’ve...

Elevator Man 

A wrinkled hand
rotates Time's worn handle of half circles
giving arrest to past rides awakened

Up and down
listening
hearing
never forgetting

Watch your step

Ornate iron confinement
charming for youth
insulation for some
sentencing for others

Cables retch echoing secrets within
sliding metal dregs past elevated remembrances
among whispered conspiracies
softly spoken nothings
muffled weeping
all preambles shadowed
in...

When I let one loose in the elevator,
I’d been goosed by gas,
released the stench of embarrassment.
Out flew a largemouth bass —
now for the harassment.

When I let one loose in the elevator,
nearby, I heard Joan’s guffaw cry,
“O sakes alive!” She had a blast.
A so-called friend, she...

There once was a lady named Ella
Who was looking for the right fella
She knew not his evil whim
So fell in deep love with him
Now Ella Vader on her stela  


Ella fell in love with Darth Vader so she became Mrs. Ella Vader.....

A woman danced up and down my street,
she moved so wildly to her own beat,
while she was whirling around,
my heart did begin to pound...
her crazy dancing turned indiscreet!

When I let one loose in the elevator,
I preferred to be on an escalator
It seemed to worsen every floor
With no escape, just a tightly closed door!

People turned around, looking at me
When one pushed the emergency button to flee
Somehow, we came to a sudden halt
And I...

When I let one loose in the elevator
I hoped the smell would pass 
But it stopped on six then my boss stepped in 
And my bowels expelled more gas

He sniffed the air not once but twice 
And asked if I smelled stew? 
I answered back...

As I hover over the darkened room, I wonder how I have gotten here. Did I die, was I 
dead? That was the only explanation I could think of for my disembodiedment. But 
concentration was lost as a little light exudes from the shiny bedside...

You say I must be brave
                      but how ?
