Best Ladder Poems

The Firemen were ready for their competition, as excitement did abound.
Then in flew Super Dragon, while landing, he mowed his buddies down.
Yep, he had landed tail over appetite, but of course, that they did expect.
As one lassoed him, with the hose, before he again, took...

There comes a time 
Looking back on this life of mine

They say it’s a mid life crisis
It’s more like times oasis

In the mist of memory’s 
Some clear some faint
Looks like I’ve not been a complete saint

The ladder of time reaches high
memories locked in the minds...

The gates of heaven cannot be reached unless the ladder of compassion is climbed!

life is a thin ladder its actors climb.
No matter how they climb, 
Some will watch other's tails as they follow steps.
You might see another going farther with speed,
But that shouldn't impel the eyes to wake greed.
Instead, watch attentively the finesse of his legs .
Learn and...

I seek a ladder to a place in the sky
A ladder that would take me to the top of the world
I would look down and no one would see
What I would see from the top of the world
O wouldn’t it be grand to be up...

I
Had
Once
Wrote  
That   I
Climbed
A  ladder.
With  each
Step up, the
Rungs turned
Into  tree  limbs
Made for squirrels.
My  sprightly  arms
And legs transformed
Into wrought iron wings.
I perched to take to the air
Like  the glorious albatross,
But the weight tugged and
Thwarted a  new...

I'm the livest survivalest
Some say I did it to death.
I feel like I'm taking my first breaths,
on this blessed quest.

Down south it's heating up.
Fire is burning.
With this knowledge I'm striving so much hire.
Prepared to earn more than ten armies require.

I'm the flyest, wildest, livest, survivalest.

Blue tunnel glimmers where dome meets the ray
in cadence of  lulled sleep, its final veil...
the flight grows misty in a blooming sway
as my soul climbs the ladder of bright trail;
where heaven’s portal dips in moonlit spray...
Awed by Mother Mary’s grace, I exhale
whispered prayers and...

Its every person for himself, step on & step up kind of world.
That is what we are are taught, at the thought our lips become curled.
At first until it hurts, until we see that there is no remorse for the weak. 
The concept grows stronger...

I come to this little cove often -
 no work, I have time to burn.
See Asians plunder its foreshore,
 I still fish - show no concern.

Red-bill seagulls fly in circles,
 fight over scraps they have won.
Never giving a thought to Icarus
 who flew too close...

With your sweet kisses 

The ladder of love constructed

Bliss’s heaven I reached!

Avarice breeds contempt,
disrupting equilibrium.

Forgotten graces; haughty imps jubilate, 
keenly listening, memorializing news 
of people quietly receding.

Slippery transgressions ultimately vanquish wiles.

X-out yawning Zacchaeus....

I was just walking around and spotted a golden ladder.
People walking past it, a swarm of people are under it
Yelling up at people, cheering loud when anyone falls down
Some fall and are slightly bruised, some aren't so lucky
Some charge right back up while others walk...

A bid to win a purpose
one so far in the air, not slick
how to leg the sea can oppose
and fun , run so far to flick
the  aim, why try to dispose
the ice top we not yet lick
to be a pro, cut the pose
rip all...

The bitter taste of efforts and the hot coal of inputs
are needed to sit on the throne of success
even the short cuts
end up more expensive and stressful
and a short ladder
is no where near the roof.

Climbing such, needs less fire
the lyrics of hard work, they may...
