Walls can protect...


Poem Artwork

 Walls

© 8.28.15 Sherry Bach

 

Walls can protect

If strong South winds were blowing

You'd be safe on the North side

 

Walls built together

Create a structure known as home

Walls stay together but people might divide

 

Walls can be brick

Tall enough to block the sun

Or be a place where you can hide

 

Walls can be strong

Enough to lean against to rest

Is there an end to what walls can provide?

 

Walls can prevent

Exit and entry of good and evil

Forcing you to acknowledge your foolish pride

 

Walls can be emotional

In that case you might be left

To analyze a situation and decide

 

Walls are mostly good

But there are times when they are not

They can keep you holding onto things you should lay aside

Hello Sherry, I believe I have never read your poetry.

My favorite stanza: "Walls can be emotional"...isn't that
the truth. I've had my share of those. Enjoyed and Thank You.

Always,

Deborah

An interesting perspective on walls, both internal and external, we create. I would prefer to be on the south, sunny side of a wall when a blue norther comes down from Canada.

For some reason, I couldn't help think about Donald Trump while reading. ;-)

Excellent thought provoking poetry Sherry!
I know folks behind prison walls who are"Free" on the inside.
Then again there are folks outside prison walls who are contained and chained to an imaginary wall locked inside their mind.
God Bless,
Amen

You always come up with something that makes the reader surrender to its core. You took a wall, a commonplace thing, just a wall, nothing more nothing less . . . Unless, as you have shown a wall is a lot more than being "just a wall."

The walls that we build can sometimes hide that sunshine preventing us from enjoying the warmth of freedom. This is a poem that makes me think. Loved reading it.

Thanks,

Chris
