Oh my god, I think it's cheezy and totally confusing. Whoever wrote this has no talent. Don't you think?
The Ladder
I balanced on a windy wall, an eye
for either side. The first had life and grass
below, though further down it seemed to die.
But still, it looked like just the place to sleep at last.
The second side was merely mud below,
and yet the sun was rising here. For that,
beyond the endless sludge the grass might grow—
although I could see none from where I sat.
It seemed the choice was easy—laid in front of me:
the easy grass would suit my lazy ways.
Until, that is, I heard a voice that was to be
the most important sound of all my days…
the voice that led me through the muddy matter:
you called to me from deep inside the latter.

Thank you all so much. You are all so much more honest, and critically reliable/trustworthy when I claim not to be the author.

No! In fact, it's my new favorite poem. I don't know who wrote it but whoever it is, tell them that YumYum is going to be all over their... junk. (giggle)

I thought is was written quite well. You may think it isn't good cause you do not understand the message.
God brings you thru mess and turmoil to give you a better life. The grass is greener on the other side. :0)

I hate amateur poets, and in fact have never praised any poem I've thus far seen here... until now. This poem is not without merit. Oh, it could use some work, some editing, but overall, it's quite interesting. In my opinion, this poet shows much promise!

No I think its really good. Poems can mean anything, even if it wasn't the intention of the author at the time of writing it. What really matters is what the reader takes from it. What ever they think it means is what makes a poem good.

That's pretty damn bad, but I've heard worse. Here's one from the novel "The Dating Game":
ODE TO MADISON MARKOWITZ
I'm in love with Madison
I'll take her to my pad-ison
Together we'll be bad-ison
Oh, Madison, my Madison
Oh, my pretty Markowitz
Your beauty makes me bark-owitz
I want to see you stark-owitz
Naked.
My Madison! My Markowitz!

Actually, it's pretty good. It basically says what we all wonder..Is the grass greener on the other side?

It's really hard to understand it but i undestand a little. It might as well NOT make sense at all.
