The wall behind my bed looks like
like the Great Wall of China
if it was only a matter of
of substance, If the
the substance of the wall
is the only reference
The wall behind my
my bed is is light
green unevenly
patched in a lighter
ter green. The wall behind
my bed is old and hollow in
in some areas
All all great walls have one
one thing in common
they bar. All great walls have
have seen wars.

Indeed the meaning hidden in the last lines. Walls mark boundaries denoting ownership and over that wars are fought. Nicely written
Do you believe that
in everything there’s everything?
When I reread my poems I see a different facet
of it; but I can only see so much

Thank you
You are most welcome
Well written. Your poem serves to explore themes of division, both personal and societal. It invites readers to consider the walls in their own lives and the barriers that separate individuals from one another, prompting contemplation on the nature of conflict and isolation.
Beautiful comment
Thank you
You're so welcome.
all great walls share love as well... great poem, not sure if some of the lines were on purpose but I suggest going back and editing. This is a great piece.
Thank you
I appreciate
