Best Level Poems

"Ground Level Entry"

“She fits the bill”,
they say it 
insouciantly

visions of being 
carried in the beak 
of a bilious pelican 

where it builds
its rudimentary nest, 
it uses sticks and debris

no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it

no higher perch
than snakes and ladders
than ground level entry

the floor is plentiful

To reach nirvana
Poet paradise
You have to reach the third level

It's a journey to forever
It may take some their whole lifetime,
and others may never get there

It's a quantum leap
fraught with uncertainty
First it takes writing skill,
then an inexhaustible will
and finally, untapped creativity

The first level is easy
Most anyone...

I may be slow
But I am on the ball
I just look first
For level ground

Let me have your head for a minute
I'll show you something in it
Do you want to see
You might wish I'd quit

I can show you I decree!
Do you believe me?
I think you do
Or we'll let it be

Your thoughts just flew
Don't be blue
It'll be allright
Just a hue

Nobody's...

It smells like burnt plastic (money)

We use more than what the globe can withstand

A consumer orgy

Buying things you do not need









            ***
Money, money, money 
Must be funny 
In the rich man's world 
Money, money,...

The Sea Level Is Rising

By Elton Camp

Back in the 1950s when I was a child
That sea level would rise seemed wild

Even those who thought that it might
Centuries into the future set that fright

It was only a concern for some distant day
But the reality has already...

This waiting to get a year
older is not fun anymore ..
not worth the party
nor the cake
cannot dance long
looking  disheveled
i'd like to go to 
the next level
can't stand the
 knee swelling
and the teeny 
weeny dwellings
This waiting to see 
bad things happen 
to good people -
done...

One step to another, high is the rank
in a constant supply full is the tank
riding success’ bike
blessing on a hike
scent of my perfume spreads in every bank....

I got slower in my travels
The sadder the sights that meet my eyes
A reflection on the train windows
Cities in decay, streets overcome with tears
It cant move fast enough for me
I feel the dirt of the city cling to my face

Just sinking in the quicksand
Hold up...

Here I sit, lost in my thoughts about life
Bout how I managed to avoid much of life's strife
Really not special
But my head is level
Always upstanding but have laid down once or twice

All my concept work experience,
My poem gives precept clearance.
My jobs revealed concepts are inept,
Good work ethics are wisdom’s precept.

Though I was square peg in a round hole,
Never intended to sell my soul,
Doing jobs on which bosses are sold,
For all souls are based on heaven’s gold!

My...

Your deed of service is not hidden in God’s sight
Since He knows your utmost with your best level might  
He sees your trust's  lever revel in His light
And doesn’t need to peep from His lofty height.
	
In passing His labor-test of divine radar rays
You...

I'm Level Headed
Electric
Magnetic
Eclectic
Expressions
Magnetic Connection 
That Make Head Spins
Like A Exorcist
Using Fire As My Element
As It's Best Essence 
Magnificent Aggression 
Persistent To Contesting
Any Detesting What's Destined
Ambigous Reflection
Of My Extensive Complexion
Optimistic Stresses
Positive Settings
Inside My Mental Cortex Processing
Directing The Fetish Of My Successes
Majestic Or Impressive Beauty In Me...

I’ve been working and writing all day.
I keep the creativity flowing always.
Sometimes I still hit that bump,
And it’s tough to overcome.
No matter what comes my way,
I will overcome it anyway.

No matter my state of mind,
I will never forsake the grind.
Give it my all every time,
It’s...
