Premium Member Valentine of Mine
In the mailbox sat This valentine of mine, With no return address No name did they sign Like my mind at the time The little card was blank, Who left it for me to find … Just who do I thank? Maybe it is best this way Not knowing who it was, Just another kind heart Who put it there because It was February 14th,...

Premium Member THE BUNNY BENEATH THE MAILBOX
Easter arrives on the wings of Spring… It’s a time of rebirth reminding us to take stock… for Deborah and I that means a visit to the bunny beneath the mailbox. She’s a tiny sculpted bunny…who has been painted gray. Her head is bowed, her hands held in prayer.. In fact…she prays all night and day. Her owners dress her up...

When we finally mounted out mailbox with its variety of bright colors- reds blues yellow’s and pinks we couldn’t wait for Eric our...

Premium Member ONE MAILBOX AT A TIME
Deborah painted our new mailbox…and though it may not seem earth changing to you… we have high hopes on what one mailbox can do. You see, we believe when hate erupts…It flows like lava… glowing hot and filled with wrath… spewing hate in all directions…destroying everything in it’s path. And if you don’t escape it…if, perhaps, you’ve nowhere else to...

Mailbox Extinction
Tear by on a Friday Doing 75 down Sharon Road Short cut up north through the federal woods Back here No one knows from US-127 About the clear-cutting as far as the eye can see Or the heads of hills chopped off and rolling And curves of road that’ve lost their will To bend A mailbox shakes in my scissor wake With no house or...

Premium Member Glory Won Mailbox Competition
When consulted, the mailman said, "Sure, put a little daisy on the mailbox if you want." So we all put on daisies. Martha put one daisy. I put up two, the girl down the street put on a marigold. The mailboxes were now in a little competition. One day we discovered Glory had bested us all. Her mailbox was saturated in a...

Mailbox
One black mail box, twelve inches deep by five inches wide. Large enough to hold any letter or package to ever arrive. It hangs tilted to one side, the nails holding it to its post straining under the weight that years of loneliness put upon it. Slowly its mouth opens and shuts in the wind, creaking out its...

The Old Mailbox
The dusty road cuts through the rolling green plain No twist or bend or end in sight Only a small puddle from a recent rain And a mailbox standing upright. It used to bring letters, cards from one and all And on holidays a treasure A link to the outside world, refused to fall A beacon it would bring pleasure. Now it stands...
