Walls
I'm new to the board. Constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks.
WALLS
The walls seemed so solid, firm and intact.
The strongest of mortar, nothing was lacked.
They’d keep out the evil, the heartless, the cruel.
So well protected, I’m nobody’s fool.
But along came the looters with lust in their eyes.
Conquest their game, surrender their prize.
They chip at the armor revealing its flaws.
Stopping at nothing, attack without cause.
A rush to rebuild the walls that are falling.
But the time it is slight, the sirens are calling.
The fortress has crumbled, the contents revealed.
Exposed to the harshness, no longer concealed.
The looters have taken all that’s treasured inside.
My shelter stripped bare, no place to hide.
I now wander in darkness, in shame and in fear.
I’ll rebuild my walls, not another soul will get near.

Geez Baby,
You've been doing some digging This is the first poem I ever wrote. I had no idea how delightfully this poem would affect my life. Now I can't seem to stop writing or talking in verse and rhyme.
