Ledge Poems - Poems about Ledge

Illicit waters
My head sun bound, The water scream sublime. The ripples waver. So tranquil now, But if I fall, Grasp and grippling. Yes I’m fine on the ledge. But the blue skies so meek, Compare to the sonorous sea. Aplomb. The water leave a white sheen, But unkempt under hide. Hermit’s fatuous thinking....

Noelle Cottage straddles ledges of grey, Extending into waters of Casio Bay, Along Small Point’s shoreline of Atlantic Ocean, Observing forest, sky, and ocean devotion. Feathered fliers: Osprey, Sea Gull, and Eagle, Their diet all favorites and everything legal, Overhead...

Dancing on the Edge of Desire's Ledge
To wallow in the fires is a tempting surrender. A swan dive into the maelstromic implode of mushroom clouds, return to sender. If I let it take me into its vespered aquafers and be but unreadable sheet of its music to...

Premium Member One Day In a Life
If you could relive one day of your life.. time lost, now retrieved for just a short while. To thrust old scheming machinations knife, or return healing to a lover's smile. Such a fretted frittering those lost days, though ones you and I will remember most. Passions reared high in servile dewy haze.. soft breathe warm against skin from dearest host. Moment waits...

When They Fledge From Their Ledge
Avidly watching for nigh on three weeks A black backed gull protecting her eggs Through gales and rain or heat from the sun Whatever the weather thrown down from above This truly was a labour of love So open to the elements fearing for her brood Already...

Premium Member Bristlecone
Strong sentinel on high Beneath a mountain sky; Called by name Bristlecone. Twisted tree all alone With green needles so dark Life clings stoic and stark. Worn wood with thin bark edge Locked to a limestone ledge. Thousands of years flowed past ‘Gainst snow and wind, a mast. No sails with which to fly You grew gnarled by-and-by. Drought and quakes, you did face Yet you...

The Ledge
I fell asleep it was day icy and grey bewildered on a ledge protruding from the rock no sign of mountain top darkness round about the abyss down below deep and hot. Leaning on the savage rock menacing tongue and eyes on the three by five my wife who had earlier died, in the bottomless fiery pit both careful not to slip. Vapors slowly rising, filling throat...

From the Ledge
A rose bloomed. A poem written in buds. It offered its arms, illiterate to whats been written. It fell asleep. A garden in thought. Slipping from the ledge it grew. In REM it whispered. Wake me when we land. For I will have acheived my dream...

Premium Member Feeding the Ducklings From the Ledge
I sit at the end of the wooden pier Near the river’s edge As the current cool water veers Unhindered away from the ledge Watching the swirls on the water surface As the ducklings swim, as they leave the sedge Aware of my bare feet, splashing the blue surface For bread crumbs as I stretch to feed them from the...

Man On Ledge
A girl in a red hat, walking home from campus, looks up and sees an elderly man stepping out on the window edge of an aging apartment building. She considers the distance from the ledge to the ground and determines that the fall will surely kill him. She is busy memorizing the look of the...

A Lonely Ledge
A Lonely Ledge There always appears to be a lonely ledge We will reach before going over the edge It really may not be obvious or clear cut So ask how, when, where, why and what. In progression, try to answer each word Listening to way they have been heard Which must importance be placed upon And was it actually, deliberately done. What evolved...
