Hurdle Poems - Poems about Hurdle

Life is nothing but a hurdle swing
A path of stones, I walk each day, With skies of grey and hopes that sway. The world feels heavy on my chest, Yet onward still, I must contest. Each step I take, a battle fought, Through webs of worry, I am caught. The dreams I chase seem far, remote, Yet still, I cling with fragile hope. The wind is cold, the road...

Premium Member A Hurdle Race
Life is like a hurdle race Tangible and invisible hurdles In your way Even a childhood dream isn't simple If you have passed all the hurdles The world will be your oyster But sometimes as you look back You found that you have failed some And you didn't jump the last hurdle Because the whistle blew And already time's up...

My Hurdle
I was walking down the lane I saw a line that crossed over the lake But i lack strength to killed the snake on top Feeling the pain of the rain inside the train... When i reached my hut The hut was very hot But i managed to cloth my clock To avoid melting of the block That will lock my luck My leg...

You'Re Facing a Hurdle It's Still the Same Track
Don't think you've fallen where no one else has fallen don't think you're fighting a fight no one's fought Growing up in a world of rainbows and glitter shielded from the stress and the strain when you're little learning balls and chains knock you down like a skittle now knowing how lows always follow on quicker this place you've fallen is a test...

Life, a Hurdle
Like a newborn babe Girdled by A colony of ants, Like a bird in A wooden cage, Like a prisoner In the Bastille, Each human life Is ensnared with A great number Of hurdles: The path of life Is never laden with Silk and blossoms. If we endeavour indeed, We’ll attain life’s ambrosia....

Poet's Hurdle
Stare vacantly at nowhere Almost beyond recall Chase the string of flea in ear With hopes and iron will Almost beyond recall Words seem exhausting With hopes and iron will Let the journey keep going Words seem exhausting Unravel its quandary Let the journey keep going Face the uncertainty Unravel its quandary Chase the string of flea in ear Face the uncertainty Stare vacantly at nowhere 03.20.17 Song: "Wither" by Dream Theater 8th Place "Pantoum...

Olympic Hurdle
The arch she holds is quite Roman The barrel of my pistol is elongated Click---Click---Bang; the race has begun Swerving, maneuvering, and dodging Joined at the hip on the last lap Cramps begin to set in Only one will survive With her intuitive mind she turns right, leaving me left Breaking the finish line tape dramatically Welcome...

The Hurdle of Hurt
A high hurdle stands in my way It's growing higher by the day I can't see past its highest peak A stream of hurt flows from its creek The hurdle of hurt is its name It sets a high bar for its game I can't see past its wicked bar I see no victory from afar God, help me see past this hurdle For...

I Am the Hurdle
I am the hurdle that needs to be cleared, The stumbling block in the way. All would be perfect if I disappeared; A rainbow would rise every day. I am the glitch and the knot in the chain, The obstacle smack in the path. Shutting me up would be everyone’s gain; My words seem to whet people’s wrath. I’m the impediment here to...

Premium Member The Q-Universe Ii: One Hurdle Overcomed
How can one survive this quagmire, imprisoned by live naked wires? Creating a chronic quaver like a terribly unstable lover. Fears should be quarantined and from its hiding, mental strength mined. The challenge ahead, not easy to quash and the ability to, is stained with rash Damn! What seems quasi-impossible has been proven completely beatable. Finally! Such an opponent was easier to quern than a reverse from...
