Lineman Poems - Poems about Lineman


The Lineman
He works on the pole, he works on the ground, in any storm he can be found. They call him a lineman; his work very dangerous. Bucket trucks and hot wires, that’s his love language. It’s 3 o’clock in the morning he’s been called back out. Back into the storm back into the drought. Leaving his family behind,...

When the lights flicker, And the silence can remember That haunting storm, who came in September. When the dark stills the night, And rain dims the fires, Burning through a soul who knows Feelings stirred by desires. When the gentle of a smile, Floating soft on the linemen’s face, Sent to bless away the fears, Stirring hearts to seek God’s grace. When all is said and done, And...

Lineman Who and What Are They
Underestimated or appreciated but we don't care, We sign up for the thrill of heights with an extra scare Hot wires down and homes a'flare, We show up when others wouldn't dare When storms roll through taking power out, Is when people wonder where our lineman are at Leaving loved ones behind and...

Premium Member Meditations of An Offensive Lineman
MEDITATIONS OF AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN I am the essence of patience and method No reckless trash talk; I never say a word I am John Henry, harder, A hammer on your bones driving spikes through your soul and your disintegrating self esteem We have a chunky young tailback who dances through turbulence like light through the trees in a storm borne by wind When he runs with...

Last Line For the Lineman
It’s a fine line we walk in life, but a finer line the lineman holds on to. There’s something about holding 24,000 volts in your hand, close enough to kiss it. Close enough to feel the tingle on his lips, sending the slightest shiver down his spine. He’ll tell you, there’ something about watching that blue light dancing up his arm while working...

One day a hard working lineman; Up a pole, went climbing; On the line, he did hear, His wife and her lover in his ear; And now for divorce, he is filing. ...

Premium Member Prayer For a Telephone Lineman
Each day I climb a dozen poles Or venture into underground holes To run the lines that carry tones Of voices into people's phones Protect me Lord as I climb high The poles that reach into the sky And please, Lord, catch me should I fall But better that not happen at all! And as...

Premium Member Defensive Lineman
It takes a big, strong guy to play on defense. However, you need more than brawn. You need intelligence. You can’t let that offense run wild on game day. Make them use their three downs, and they have to punt away. As a defensive lineman, your sights are on the quarterback. Penetrate that backfield, and throw him for a...

Ode To the Lineman
Pulled himself to the very top Looked over the world on high Felt the warm and stirring breeze falling from the sky Knowing this was how it felt to soar above the land To feel so safe away from things so free to be alive Yet down the pole we all must come to touch...
