Plank Poems | Examples


Mind Had Been Walking Plank

Mind Had Been Walking Plank

Remember when mind  had been a blank;
And caused problems when walking plank;
God calling;
Started falling
Did end up in deep water  and then sank.

Premium MemberHe Walked the Plank

His mates made old Barney walk the plank
They had, for a long time, told him he stank
For bathe he would not
Or pee in the pot
But it was his feet that were just too rank

I was prepared to walk off the plank
I hadn't realized my heart already sank

The Plank

The Plank


        Look at the Horizon glow
               Look out down below
                       The clear blue sea
                               The sharks are hungry...

        Only four more feet
                Then punishment complete
                         Pausing to catch my breath
                                 Before the final step...death...

         Look at the Horizon glow
                     Look out down below
                             The clear blue sea
                                      Is swallowing me...

Plank In Your Eye

How can it be that you're
trying to tell me that
I am not seeing
what you're saying?
You should really think twice
before giving your advice
because your own situation
is displaying!

Now if you're going to tell me
the way you see things should be,
that's fine, but you know,
just before you try-
this tiny speck of dust 
that's making me blink-
can't compare to that
"plank in YOUR eye!"

Now it has been said
that a speck in the eye
will cause one to see three worlds!-
but the more that I blink, 
yes.... it is going away,
and a clearer vision unfurls!

With the good intentions,
I know that you have,
I offer this for you to try-
you will see much more clearly,
quite frankly.... and sincerely,
when you remove that 
"plank in YOUR eye!"
