Best Up A Wall Poems


Premium Member The Fall of a Wall
The GDR put up a wall
in ‘61 because
they wanted West Berlin kept out.
A wall of shame it was!

In fact, the West more easily
could travel all about
while Eastern Germans were the ones
from freedom routes locked out. 

The wall was guarded. Some were killed
while struggling to flee.
The...

SPIRITUALLY INTERRUPTED.

I CAME TO EARTH WITH 
EVERYTHING IN TACT.
I was happy curious and 
with rapid anxiety.
couldn't wait to bring the 
good news from the place
where I had just come from,
To my new home here on earth.

It was just an
overwhelming understanding.
that I had,Wanted badly
to share the...

Premium Member Franken Dragon
On one dark and stormy night… on a local, lonely, wind swept moor,
A very young and slightly mad scientist did some craziness, for sure.
Now mind you, he was only 3 years young, but, yet, still a science nerd,
His binky and blankie well in hand, a...

Premium Member Tropical Obsession
I've got a tropical obsession
I think I'm losing my mind
I want to see my work day done
Go out and have some fun
And leave the city life behind.

I love the roar of the ocean
The smell of tanning lotion
A secluded beach somewhere
There are coconuts in the trees
With...

Premium Member Trumpet Vines and Heather
Heather in a garden
Or heather in a store
Flowers beg a pardon,
Lovely forever more.

Vines climb up a wall,
Effortlessly tall
Vines climb up a gate,
Chopping is their fate.

Flowers and vines,
‘til the end of times.
Together forever
Trumpets and heather....

The Spaceship
So I’m building a spaceship, 
But where should I start?
When the spaceship I’m building 
Is made out of art

Books for the seats
And paintings for the walls
Cause this type of spaceship 
Goes nowhere at all

I do not want it to
Why should it go?
To travel to space,
Where...

Premium Member Poemdog Politics
We are all aware of the season
Politicians give us good reason
To be happy we still have choices
And bark in our hunting dog voices
This year is like the rest
All from different nests
Somewhat similar attacks
Groupie pundits pushin' the pack 
Donning my helpful glasses
Suddenly nothing but asses
In their...

Locked Inside
I needed a way to release from inside,
All of the tears that I never cried,

My head was exploding from all I kept in,
While onto my face I glued a fake grin;

I hid inside my suspicion and fears,
And locked them away for many years;

They built up...

We In Deep Trouble
I think we are in trouble
they are all in good spirits
something smells fishy to me

They smile and they tell you
they "will", fix it this time
give them your vote, and you'll see

Each one is claiming 
they are without question
so far above all reproach

They wave their credentials
and...

Super Hero
Don’t have a Mjölnir hammer 
 Like the mighty Thor
 And I’m not bionic 
 Can’t break down a door

 Can’t fly around the world
 Like a superman
 And couldn’t move to fast
 Like the flash can

 I’m not the human touch
 Like the fantastic...

The Call of God

One cannot truly understand why God
selects a person with whom His secrets He choose to confide,
and He living closer it seems to them
His presence in their life is found there to abide.

Does He select such a one by their beauty
their grace or...

Pucker Up
Wanna move up the ladder fast?
I'll tell you what to do;
Run to the boss's office,
And shine those dirty shoes!

Are your fingers stout enough,
To massage his smelly feet?
Clip those crusted toe nails,
Make sure they're nice and neat!

Hang around the time clock,
Snitch on those who's late;
Spend more...

Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted
'Knock, knock' on the door,
But, I won't let you in.
No, no.
The chamber of my heart is closed.
But 'knock, knock' you say.
Oh no!
I am stronger in this position than any other.
A huge 'liquidation' sign hung,
For months and months,
At my window pane.
I gave away everything I had...

My Memories
My Memories 

I was thinking of buying a new house
So I’m here with my son and his spouse 

Sitting outback looking up to the sky
Hoping to see something go bye  

Wishing for a sign to see
Something from my wife to me

To move into an...
