Best Floor Board Poems

I close my eyes
And back home I am
Looking out those
Century old windows
My inner tears
Would burst a dam

I remember every crack 
In those walls,
Every floor board
Prone to creak
But the happiness
I had there,
Is something I can
now but seek...

Home of fifty years
Saw my tears and my joy
From infancy...

Shadows seeking solitude
sunlight filters fleeting dream
soft endless kisses
are more real than they seem

Awake but still in the stillness
missing moments long past
through stained glass windows
smiles seldom forever last

Dusty records skipping with 
every floor board squeak
dancing my way ever closer
nearer your soul  to peek

In bits of...

Rongtern Mansion
By M. Taha Effendi

(Verse Libre)

The front door of the mansion mysteriously creaks open,

I freeze.

Hoping to hear a welcoming voice,
But all I hear is the wailing of the cold wind,
The pitter-patter of rain outside,
And the roar of lightning,
The room reeks of damp, decayed wood and...

No time for poetry the last few days
as I am putting down a hard wood floor.
There is much poetry in many ways
in that, as in everything else, and more.
There really is a metaphor for life.
Fix a sonnet on the fly so to speak
but a hard...

I am a pandora's box.

Let loose upon an unsuspecting society.
Once my night life begins,
complications arise.

Let me pen an example.
Keep in mind, it was not my fault.
well, not entirely.

I awoke in my usual good humor.  
I dressed with my usual care.
I gave more than adequate...

I am America’s greatest 

living actor.  

 

I commit to every role

so thoroughly and honestly

that you’ve never seen

me break character, never for 

a moment have you lost

your suspension of disbelief.

 

which floor board creaks when

stepped upon on stage?  I

can tell you.  which...

The Sparrow. 
The stage was enormous partly dark; floor board made
of the decks of stranded schooners 
a sparrow came shuffling in, slightly bent too much time spent
at street corners singing for a few shilling had taken its toll. 
 She was met with applause which...

The body of good fortune is always fragile
and never lasts.
You understand?
All unseen fortunes gently strokes our synapses
and always turns our direction to Potter’s Field
or the penthouse.
The gravity of living in an indifferent city
pulls our hearts to the third rail
so we could feel something
anything but the...

He always told me we should never love each other.
We would hold hands when we walked down the street, and up the two concrete steps that were rough and scalding hot on my bare feet
Mid-July when there were no clouds to block the sun’s rays...

Awake as always at four bells
Call of nature, best alarm clock
Frozen by the sight
Could it be a trick of the light
Just a short pause and glance at the floor
There it was thirty-two years and never
Saw it before, until this morning
Etched in the oak wood flooring
Installed...

My first car was a '67 Deville
I really thought I was cool
Til everybody started laughing at me
When I drove that thing to school

Then I bought a used taxi cab
With the sign still on the side
But everybody kept waving me down
So I finally got rid of...
