Best Telephones Poems

Modern Life
We are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
Except Monday mornings and Sunday nights.
What are they on about, at this place that I seek
That is supposed open 24/7 days a week.

The pub is open we have an unlimited license,
Let’s have a drink...

Everything here is true
Just as stated
because it's already happened
or - it has yet to occur - 
but it's very soon to occur

as you read this
that in the end I will be proven...

Human ingenuity leapfrogs beyond ordinary
Buoying upon wings of intellectual curiosity
Sustaining innovation, creative imagination,
Breaking barriers once thought impenetrable,
Daring to conquer the arduous, unknown~ 
Resistant to understanding, inert to inquiry.

Unfathomable is force of scientific curiosity
That opened doors to discoveries, inventions:

Telescopes that explore the origin of universe,
Space flights...

A modest planet and quietly progressing
Troubling no other and fealty confessing
 Surviving well enough and paying its dues;

I hear Africa weeping
gnashing her teeth in cold
but custodians sit in glory

Cows mooing
bulls bellowing
trees whistling
wind blowing dust in eyes
land cracking and dusty
insects invading crops
women labor in vain
children- new market goats afar
young- girls cakes of pleasure
water migrating to the heavens
but custodians sit in glory

Tell me, weeping...

At last I was a fruitful writer, and my new novel was selling well,
Like the stars of a moonlit evening, putting lovers under a spell.

The other day while rummaging in a closet I was instantly overcome with joy
when I ran across our storage bins filled with our children’s once used toys.

Toys our children and grandchildren played with when they were young and new…
Toys that don’t grow up…like children and...

Love me like you mean it without pretending smile 
don't need a stroke of genius or conversation style 
your presence is required, the telephones a rue 
don't need you constantly but never just won't do 
love me like you mean it without pretending smile 

Love...

Love Weighs Souls, Says Both Hearts And God Above

They say that the human soul has no weight
They that have not felt heavy hand of fate
Shouting man is born but a fleshly shell
And there is no heaven, there is no Hell
The soul once broken sets a...

Today we begin with a quote from Eisenstein
with commentary in brackets
informed by Bucky Fuller's cooperative metaphysic 
of Synergetic Steerage.

"We have a[n autonomic neurosystemic] need to stay in contact with people with whom we share emotional and economic ties.  In past times, these people were...

Remembering Old-Time Telephone Service 

By Elton Camp

Only a few decades ago, the wireless telephones that have become so much a part of our lives were inconceivable and remained so until the advent of Star Trek in the 1960s.  Seeing the crew of the Enteprise...

Hubby works for a Corporation called the... Well, I’m not allowed to say.
He answers telephones. Really! EVEN with his great degree, every day!
But, now, remember this is a Corporation, and they do stuff differently!
They leave the air conditioners on, when it’s still winter at, 10...

Earth is becoming something different, something more.
For millions of years proto-humans strode its bounties until
*****sapiens arrived. Once here, humans took millennia
incrementally building improving its lot in life. Step by step,
developing new ways of improving, one change building upon another.
Cooking food, better nutrition, better weapons...

Philipp Reis (Deutsch/ English/ Español   (Sentanka)

Übertragung von Sprache
Mit den einfachsten Mitteln
Über große Entfernung 

Versagt blieb ihm der Erfolg
Viel zu früh kam sein Tod


Transmission of  voice
By using the simplest means
Over long distances 

Success was denied to him
His death came far too early

I had to sit through it all
the conversation that was inevitable
What they did
Where they went
What they saw...
My brother and his wife
On the their expensive trip to see Roger Federer in the flesh
My husband and daughter 
On a trip joining work with sightseeing
And then there was...
