Day 283 - Brick Wall

 BRICK WALL

Prompt - Brick Wall : Write a poem that is about a brick wall -whether literal or figurative

There is a brick wall across my path

My journey has come to a halt  

I will wait right here

Hoping someone will turn up

Who can help me find a way

To go on with my wander

Something will turn up

There is a brick wall across my path

My journey has come to a halt  

I will turn around

Go home to where I came from

I may choose to remain there

Or look for a road elsewhere

This is not my path

There is a brick wall across my path

My journey has come to a halt  

I will search the land

Looking for means to break through

Is there a bulldozer near?

A place to buy explosives?

I will smash my way

There is a brick wall across my path

My journey has come to a halt  

I will look all ways

To go round, over, under

Any which way I can find 

Whatever it takes to pass

I will travel on

There is a brick wall across my path

My journey has come to a halt  

I will take my paints

Maybe without the talent

Of Banksy or Da Vinci

Yet I will make my mark here

I will create art
