O, Woe is me! O, Woe is me!
SOUP MAILBOX, EMPTY
 

NO ONE SENDS A NOTE
TO SAY HOW DO YOU DO?
Anything going on? 
Hey! What's New with you?

You Have Mail?

"You Have Mail," is what my stupid computer keeps on telling me, 
but every time I go outside to check my mailbox 
there's never any mail for me.

A Poem For Vivian

that little
mailbox

so

where i live

for
with gifts

not
know
you
anymore

Suburban Professional

Written April 20, 2016


Here he comes
To the red brick mailbox
Down the solar powered sidewalk
Newspaper in hand
A suburban professional
However antisocial

Mailbox

Mailbox


So every evening 

coming back home 

I take a knowing peek 

inside the old mailbox 


and knowing I know, 

it seems to me,  

the rude bare bottom 

sneers at me

Minds Meet In Mailbox

Minds Meet In Mailbox

Mailbox is where our minds will meet;
Preparing poems that are on a sheet;
For cared;
Be prepared,
And do good turn daily nice and neat.

A Road To Spring

to Jenny 

over the deep blue grass
yellow daffodils bloom,
a faded mailbox,
cherry blossoms
sway and fall apart
above
fragmented clouds,
blue sky,
a hungry wind walks.

The Red Flag

I was a mail woman in a slump,
till delivered mail to a certain dump, 
lots of how to kill,
just for a thrill,
left the red flag on the mailbox straight up.

You'Ve Got Mail

Going to the mailbox with Ambien dreams
A sleep walking journey or so it seems
Neighbor took only one glance
Laughed, "You're not wearing no pants"
Awakened by my wife's horrid screams

Soup Mailbox

My Soup Mail is empty
Not a soul sends a word
I write to everyone
And nothing is heard?

One day I'll get a message
And fall flat on the floor
"We moved your old soup mail 
Don't worry anymore"

Ripe Tomato

Walked out on my sidewalk to the mailbox,
on top of the box was a pair of socks,
I said as I scratched my head,
"Who would leave such socks of red?"
Neighbor's wife replied, "Nude gardening rocks!"

powerful witch

She made a little list
I hoped my name was not on it
I had seen what she can do.
Without half trying

She can turn you into concrete
With a flip of her fingers
And she can turn your nose into a mailbox
I had seen that before

Gift of Hazelnut

I am sure they thought they were doing something wonderful.
Putting hazelnut coffee into my mailbox with a bow.
It is no one who knows me.
Because I am deathly allergic to hazelnut.

Or it is someone who knows me
But does not like me very well.

Plastic Dancers

Silver threads
Unseen things
Guiding lights
TV schemes
Puppet arms
Robot legs
2-D masters
Media slaves
Paper heads
Painted green
Plastic hearts
Rented dreams
See-through souls
Glassy eyes
Mailbox fears
Ruin lives
Wind them up
Turn the key
See them dance
To usury

Dear Friend

My mailbox is empty,since you went away
            I wrapped all your letters and i put them away
            I tied them with a ribbon of blue
            Each time i look at them i remember you
            Thank You, for being my dear friend
             Someday we will meet in Heaven again

Mailbox Won

Mailbox Won

It was a dark and stormy night
Well, not so stormy but there’s no light
It was so dark I could not see
That mailbox that was behind me
I turned the wheel, heard a crunch
I closed my eyes, I had a hunch
I got out to see the damage done
My taillight’s gone, the mailbox won

No Mail Today

I check my mail box everyday
To see what I can see
But when I check my mailbox
There's nothing there for me
Oh, I get bills and junk mail
And readers digest too
But when I check my mailbox
There's nothing there from you
If I could get one letter
For my very self
I'd frame that little sucker
And place it on the shelf

The Mailbox (Eap.)

Once again...I open up my mailbox...and peek inside.

            In the mailbox, I look with hopeful expectation
            By the possibility of a greeting or a salutation....
            With the realization and disappointing frustration
            Of the discovery, there are only bills,... junk mail,..and annoying solicitations!!

No Signature Required

The heart can be a mailbox for unsigned love letters. Best to forget the specific sender. focus on the beautiful hand-written script. God has endless addresses, yet only one mailbox. Love can arrive from the unseen, also from those you have never met. The envelopes may even be sealed, and opened by your own hands.
