Best Envelope Poems

Sunset sky was like a fiery red flame
wistful touch on her hair with a sigh
Warm, sweet smell of cinnamon apple pie
A rose in my safe caress. Butterfly
heavenly feelings as cupid took aim

It all started from an envelope
An envelope of promise to return.
Everyday a lady loved so dear by a young man
Is waiting for a letter in the mailbox.

Rain or shine, not a week passed
That a letter in an envelope is not delivered.
Until one day and a...

          there was an adolescent
                    who believed in heaven

So it lived piously

"Envelope"

We knew what we were about
when we signed up 
the other side of the mirror
mothers become gods 
for a short while 
and perhaps 
long after

what servant is man 
when he believes 
he’s as big a god
in the realm 
of playing children
lost for a time 
in...

They lived a blissful life
          enjoying it's pleasures
while maintaining a friendship

that encompassed everything true,

Finally you reach heaven
after all these years
of trying to live right
following the basic precepts
of decency and humanity

You weren't sure
what to expect
but you're pleasantly surprised
by the surroundings
It's hard to describe

being so amazing, stupendous
It's a delight to survive
in this kingdom of lusciousness
where everything is delicious,
the utmost supreme...

It seems naughtiness is ingrained in my very soul
Joined “Naughties Anonymous” but I still lose control
Bad to the core
Naughty evermore
For Jan and me, pushing the envelope is our goal

On that second part
You perked it up before I ever even put my tongue on it

With the unlikely proposition that winter would end
	green tips took

form

             beneath the softening crust of snow around the

mail

collage congealed by road salt and sand

Sky-
The long envelope,
Moon is like the postal stamp!...

Time is fleeting
as you await
the day's translucence
that beckons beyond
the iridescent reluctance
to waste it all away.

It's a mere transcendence
from casually strolling
to waiting for your
true dream and desire
while the sun shines
brightly in a

powder blue sky.
It's an uplifting feeling
and puts things in perspective
with the realities
that can unfold
at the...

Darling look,
see how i've healed?
those scars, those wounds
pressed together, concealed.
you can't even tell now,
i've only caked 300 pounds now
And all you see is a scratch.
Be proud my dear,
Cause this is what you made me
I’m actually far worse than I’m appearing
And love, you’re the one I’m...

She is the doctor I worked with
Petite, fast- moving lady with a  zippy smile
Presented me a bamboo plant 
With a red small envelope
She wrote:
"I chose to give you a bamboo plant
Because it symbolizes
Strength and flexibility
Also great qualities in you.
Thank you for your hard work
Determination...

Buy ink which remains indelible on the soul
Lick your stamps as they should never lick themselves
Keep envelopes open to suggestions and to be stretched
Hide them in a dry place or pine desk out of trouble 
Hold pens gently into the wind or corresponding weather
Leave an...

envelope rhyme

Humpty Dumpty, brave fall guy
attended the King's Christmas ball.
He never guessed his downfall,
empty headed, brain gone awry.

Humpty Dumpty's sneaky try,
bucking the Queen's serving line,
“Expelled! out back, you shall dine!”
close by yon royal pig sty. 

Humpty Dump, give us a clue,
"Why did you behave so...
