I remember we used to choose several words and challenge our friends to write a poem or short story including the chosen words. I challenge you to write a poem or short story using these words. wall, fall, land, accident, fade.
This is my poem.
The Fly
That little fly upon the wall
Is just about to trip and fall
If he should land upon the shelf
he possibly could hurt himself
an accident I cannot say
perhaps it's time to fade away

Wasn't the mylotter's name who did this Jecka? Anyway, here is my effort:
The accident
the fall, that
hard landing
fade from my
conscious mind
yet are projected
on the wall as
I try to sleep.

Oh like this one. I remember when people on bubbles would do this. I want to try. Nicely done miss lady, very humble and smart at the same time. While saying grow up losers. To much.

Yes @JamesHxstatic it was Jecka. I sure hope she is doing well.
Land may be perpendicular or flat to the toed tread
an accidental fall, a kitten discovered
or perhaps a bruise fading
memory stony though the bones remember.

@Courtlynn Maybe you should try it. It's kinda fun to see what you can come up with.

. (Your poem made me think of a video clip on youtube, about puppies and kittens sleeping on the edge of the sofa...

This is my poem.Some may find it controversial...
Donald Trump said; "Build a Wall!"
It was started in Sping and finished by Fall.
To keep out Illegal Aliens, you see
From invading America, Land of the Free
Twas no accident that Donald Trump kinda
Wants something resembling the Great Wall of China
By the time the bill for this obstruction is paid
The wall will be crushed and the memories will fade
