Long Printers Poems

My Last Las Vegas C.E.S. (1)
(A Memorial Poem)
I long counted Steve Bristow a friend (1) and we'd fly off to lunch
some days (Steve would get 'hours in' he needed for license - small planes).
It was...

Escape to Egypt
(Matthew 2:13-15)

People centred decision making in all walks of life,
Has been mobile since the ‘90s, when the human fife,
Became rational equality and the dissemination of info,
From the web, that internet that made the...

Walk here with me
Along a strand of island in the sea
Let your heart drink like a leaf
From this mighty river
That shaped the world's relief
Listen to his name
Hear echoes of white colonial history
The burden of shame
Edging...

It seems that man can never comprehend
The carnal thrust of lust we all must trust;
As human minds design no plan to end
Carnality 'till man converts to dust. 

When facets of our lives are added new,...

Light, defined as electromagnet,
radiation; photon particles
Natural visible light: with intensity, and frequency
Light wavelength spectrum / polarization propagation

People pleasure and preen at the beach with sunny tanning 
Sunlight illuminates mountain bike trails for bicycling and trekking
Sunsets...

Black ink cartridge dead and empty
Once fed blank paper onion white
It was a canon while it lasted
All good copies come to an end

When it ran dry as printers do
All things die in desert lands
Of thirst...

As I watch the sun descend from view,
cast shadows across the land anew, 
Floating warehouses engulf the sky
thus the shadows never die.

The drones which fill the evening air,
aren’t drones of old to thus compare,
but silent,...

My hobby is making Coffee-Table Photo Books.
I work on them until I am pleased with the way each one looks.
I make personalized calendars, a picture to each month I must choose.
Then off to the printers,...

The emotions that bubble up,
Fizzing from your finger tips,
staining the already worn carpet
as it licks its lips across the floor.
 
Passion doesn’t spit both ways.
 
Would it feel like dancing?
Eyes holding onto another
with hands discovering
new...

There are so many things I could rant about, 
things that drive me nuts with irritation.
Sometimes I just want to scream and shout!
God help me sometimes with this generation!

Printers make it so hard to print...

Adam and Eve is where my tree starts
with Noah's son Japheth leaving his mark
spreading his DNA seed all over Europe
his lineage from long ago quickly passing the buck,

Ireland, Wales and Germany my family sprang

A printer's apprentice is my youth was

My canvas a 4 colour Heidelberg press no less

A 1000 + tons of  solid steel industrial ingenuity

That changed and formed the landscape we know today

Cyan,

Yellow,
Black

Through paper cuts from...

The Library was a quiet place
I’d go there twice a week
To find solitude and my own space
Where nobody would speak.

Books upon books adorned the shelves
Some were unread for years
All covered in dust with musty smells
Or...

Printers Lament
Oh no here we go there’s a pallet full to print
There’s no paper here and we are nearly out of ink
Get a felt pen and start filling in
The finisher* is waiting, so...

there were no tears at graduation
my heart burst with pride as the youngest boy
marched with his friends to finish high school
but up in the bleachers
his mother
could hardly wait for that diploma to hit his hand
DONE...

DOYLESTOWN WALK
She walks amid our dream of brick and stone
dreamt yesterday, then made for time to share,
the spirit of our past, she walks alone,
but she will touch your hand if you are there.

Past cobbler's dens,...

I can only dream of what it is like to live in the city....
Its clear there you can see people's greed or pity.
Families,Couples or Singles....
Tall tales are told out of printers.
And the cold street air...

Can’t a rich corpse remain in a fridge
While the bereaved have gaps to still bridge?
The outrage that descends on faces
Varies with minds, background and races,
Deferment of interment a choice;
On the subject it can’t be one...

My trade is printing
commercial web-press printing
Printing is an art

A difficult art
It takes an age of learning
to master this form

Printers are painters
yet we do not use brushes
We paint with machines

And do not use paint
but ink to...

Bitcoin’s not a hedge
It’s a permanent SOLUTION 
For the PROBLEM of inflation 
It’s a timely revolution

Yes, Bitcoin’s not a hedge
When the money printers run
But it is a bold SOLUTION
And remains the only one

When the money...

Oh my Dane
Technology and you
Most unlucky in
Computer zoo

Hard drives crash
Is it driver error
Mums yelling
What be her terror

Floppies flopped
Disc's located
Printers dry
My frustration updated

Saved files 
Actually disappearing
Megabytes biting
Desperation nearing
 
Flat screen
Flickering
Technology and I
Bickering

What in the world

If printers in heart posted be,
Sweet memoirs printed can be.

Many a new taste tasted be,
Relations if tested can be.

An empty pan of poverty
Mused: if these stones roasted can be. 

Fair postmortem probed can it be
