Envelope Poems - Poems about Envelope

I slowly opened the envelope with hesitation. My repeated health test results would either reveal good news or bad news. I had been praying, begging, and pleading to God for good news. I promised God that I would change my lifestyle. I promised God that I would become a better person. I read the letter,...

Death, a warm envelope, tender and kind, Embraces us all, leaves fear behind. A gentle touch, a soothing call, Inviting us in, one and all. The spirit moves on, serene and free, Joining loved ones in eternity. A reunion sweet, a bond so pure, In love's embrace, we find our cure. No longer apart, no more to miss, We join the ones we loved...

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 week passed And not a single letter was dropped in the...

Walking thru the door my heart drops, As I see the envelope on the table. I call out for my wife all I hear is silence. Standing all alone tears welling, Up in my eyes I have never felt pain, Like this before as if a hot burning, Poker has been thrust into my heart. I fall to my knees crying, Calling her...

Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope Horrid tin on wet paper. Coastal fragments of an empire twilight. Nonsense to corners in a deck along the warped cabin. Would you be silent for a moment? Afraid it seems, all these foul rodents. Their intrusion delights the pit of my heart. Tricky, a chaotic wide, flying, hammering scent of rubber. I...

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 impression on the world as you write Use an eraser but...

Mirror, my friend, I ask, if you please. "Am I kind? generous? one who meets needs?" Why ask? A stranger's hospitable deeds are worth far more than empty vanities.

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 rudely?" Your etiquette, so crudely like a simple, naïve ingenue. Humpty Dumpty then...

for the mothers and children of Gaza Frail envelope of flesh, lying cold on the surgeon’s table with anguished eyes like your mother’s eyes and a heartbeat weak, unstable ... Frail crucible of dust, brief flower come to this— your tiny hand in your mother’s hand for a last bewildered kiss ... Brief mayfly of a child, to live two artless years! Now your mother’s lips seal...
