Best Fly On The Wall Poems


Fly On the Wall
Unlike the social butterfly
 I am rarely even seen.
For I'm much more tamed
 Than the rowdy teen.

Comfortably I sit and watch
 All the commotion unfold.
Listening to all the drama
 And stories that are told.

Although in the crowd
 I might feel a bit small...
No way do...

 An old expression,
“A fly on the wall”,
Means the walls have eyes
And ears to witness;
What is happening.

You want to know
Who’s talking, what
They say about
You and others.

You want to 
Be a “fly”
“On the wall”.

You know
That they...

Talk.

Fly On the Wall
The fly on the wall,
Hears me call,
Your name as,
You tame the dame.
You are driven insane,
Because nothing done,
Freaky with me is mundane.
The fly on the wall,
Knows your name.
The fly on the wall, 
Is eclectically entertained.
Our actions in the flies,
Mind is sweetly stained,
Because our ecstasy,
Is explained to...

A fly on Oprah's wall.
I think I'll build an Oprah mall.
All of this money
And still no honey.
I'm bored, I think I'll buy Senegal....

That furniture at Grandma’s house has never had a;
Behind, sit down directly on it-
The plastic had duct tape overtop
Where something sharp had pierced a hole
This sofa, that had lasted 30 years… unscathed.
The sofa also had another decorative cover with
Big crazy flowers over top of the...

A Fly On the Wall
I had a dream last night in bed
I was a fly on the wall overhead
But it was too real
No joy did I feel
I couldn't understand what was said!...

A Fly On the Wall
Last night I had a funny dream,
It really made me laugh;
I dreamt I was a fly on the wall
As Jim Morrison had a bath!
I heard him sing his famous songs
That went to number one,
But when the bubbles in his bath dissolved
Was when I had great...

It seems I may not need to be
A fly upon the wall,
For so many folks are ready to
Reveal their all in all.
Innumerable tell all books
And gossip magazines
Are ready to print the stuff that once
Was kept behind the scenes.

You can go on line and whisper
All the...

Fly on the Wall

I am the fly on the wall
I am seldom seen but I hear all
I watch your life like spectator sport
I want your love but always fall short
I am nothing special to win your heart
I am simply too plain we are worlds apart
I...

An Injurious Fly On the Wall
if i were a fly on the wall with a paintbrush,
i'd be lost and every reflex of mine would be disabled by confusion
my handicap would prevent experiences with bliss but would cause catastrophes with heartbreak
by dawn i would dead and unknown with the dried up...

Fly On the Wall
Fly sat on a wall, evening
hungry and thirsty it was
Wet sugar was near is a dish

It thought;
“If I can fly down and taste
just enough of that sugar.
All the hunger, all the thirst
will be off-loaded.
My limbs I’ll lick long
My wings too shall be store”

It did it.
Stuck...

To witness the secret conniving,
to hear of grand plans
made on behalf of others
‘For the good of all’ – 
the absurdity of it in the face of disinformation – 
the whispered schemes by the vain leaders. 
Ah, the illusion of significance in their small universes;
gaining nothing,...

Just Another Fly On the Wall
There I was
 on the wall hiding in disguise,
 some place I've been before
 caught between the windows and the open door.

Maybe it was somewhere I should not have been
 but you yourself invited me in
 drawn by the smell of cooking meats
 salads, corn,...
