Love Letters

Life is a dirty postcard,
I'm the one
with the permanent tan.
She wears the crown of filth
and beauty, and I
lose myself
in the uncertainty
of her gaze.

Premium Member The Postcard

I received a postcard with a picture of the entire planet earth taken from outer space.
On the back it read,"Wish you were here. Earth's one hell of a place."

Premium Member A Song of Paradise

Pretty little seagull
a soft cry above the waves;
rainbows frame the moment,
a postcard come to life;
Dizzying beauty,
I want to touch the Sun;
Sing me a song of paradise
each dream a taste of peace.

Premium Member The Perfect Postcard

The hoar frost coated the trees

Creating a picturesque scene

A wonderful winter land dream

Everything coated in white

An unbelievable sight

An enchanted winter delight

A picture perfect postcard.

Postcard From Paris

Seeing the Seine
and the Eiffel Tower view
it's not the same
without you
so feeling somewhat blue
toujours l'amour ma chérie
with this brief billet-doux
thought I'd drop a line
wish you were here
the weather's fine

Postcard From the Mountains of Shikoku, Japan

Mountains, clouds caping
In land of water falling
Tall, straight pines climbing
 
Many shades of green
Still paddy water serene
Steep hills between
 
Spring swallows welcome
Good fortune in ev'ry home
Happy we have come

Card Show

Some consider them dull
   Others say "I don't think I am going to that"
       Yet I attend such shows on a fairly regular basis
I find them stimulating
   Also fun!
Postcard shows
    Something you should consider 
if you want fortune and fun!

Postcard Whow

Millions of '   
      postcards 
for sale
    Dealers 
from around the world 
Some from Israel 
   Some from Russia 
Some rich 
   others poor
Capitalism in action
     But E.V. Debs cards 
sell for a lot of money!
    The point of this poem escapes me

A Postcard

you send me sentences
through a postcard
of orange fruit color

(like day turn to be dark?)

“i bought a pair of new shirt
dimmed brown-yellow”

(like rain wants to fall down?)

you didn’t ask me
i’m well or not
you didn’t say miss me
you didn’t expect reply

(like story in the end?)

Paradise Islands

However

Picture
Postcard
Perfect

Paradise Island

May initially seem

Without a certain other Soul

To share it's plentitude and bounty with

Must be be like the final tree in a wood
being felled

Enquiring to themselves I wonder if
anybody else heard that

And is coming to my rescue

Premium Member What Are Your Triggers

What triggers out-of-control emotions?
frown
whistle
lopsided picture frame
yellow flowered wallpaper
person
smell
landscape
poem
painted canvas
purse
postcard
antique mall
toothbrush
six thousand eight hundred other things
What triggers me is unique to me
And what triggers you is an anomaly to me

Picture Perfect

As five am drew, the morning scene looks like a postcard.

The ridges of the mountaintops are perfectly outlined as if drawn by a painter

Three shades of blue layer the sky

Pasted to the shades of blue sky are a half crescent moon and one very bright star

The picture perfect scene ends with a warm breeze

Premium Member It Is Not That Trite

Sand gets grayer, melting sun
Merges into setting phase
Waves slow down their run
To the quieter pace 
Gentler blows the ocean breeze
Cirrus clouds decay
Shines a metaphor of peace
In the air today
Looks like postcard type of view 
But it’s not that trite
On the premise of the few
Who can breathe the light.

A Fine Postcard

In my collection
    a card oof Martin Luther King
    has taken its posistion among the other cards
I have bought or traded for
Shot down like a dog 
     He tried to bring peace to a harsh, troubled world
Died young
     He knew what he was getting into when he 
began to agitate 
   He is missed by many
Martin Luther King

Humpbacked Bridge

yonder is my town's old bridge,

     grayish, humpbacked, but still strong,

         still spanning my gaping years

            like lyrics weaving my song;


           like a bright picture postcard

      framed by my car's glass window,

             stirring youthful memories

        that gladden my soul, you know.

Premium Member Red Tulips

Owing you a letter,
No time,
A postcard for now.

I picked the one with a bright red tulip,
I thought about your yellow ones,
The ones with red streaks.
They sound beautiful.

My tulip plants have two buds.
One bloomed
But was sun bleached pink,
The other didn’t open at all.

The drought still takes it’s toll,
Even into spring.

Colorful Display

Colorful Display A wooden bridge across the babbling brook behind flowered hills, pastures of velvet green where the sun and shadows blend the natures colorful display like a peaceful country postcard scene with greatness of the rainbow colors smile. Erich J.Goller Copyright 5.16.2009

Premium Member With An Array Rondine

With an array of foreign stamps 
send me a postcard message please;
Take me through those vibrant cities!
Let me see all the rustic camps,
stories of long hikes and leg cramps;
Don't leave out forest oddities!
With an array
of antiquated outdoor lamps 
brighten a dark dead of night breeze;
Show me scenery that revamps
with an array.

Postcard

I got a postcard just today,
It was sent from France,
Where heads your way?

When first I read it,
I simply broke down.
I sat there, crying,
I needed you around.

My life’s full of lies,
You’re one of them.
When I opened my eyes,
You were gone again.

Now I’m sitting here,
Thinking of life.
I’m holding balance
On destinies pipe.

'forgive Me'

It ended as quickly as it began,
You were gone and everything was empty.
A suffocating silence filled your place that left me
With the looming hope if your return.
I waited, wondered, worried that you'd forgotten,
But every few months
I'd get a postcard in the mail 
Of a place I've never been,
With the same scribbled message
Over and over,
"Forgive me."

Postcard

Pouring my eyes into
Digital imagery
Letting the cruel waves
Carry me to the sand and back
Blushing inside
When their gentle eyes cross mine

I close my mind for a moment
And stop breathing
No more bleeding
For a moment

Warmth, a bright sun
For once

I know the light, I see
Kind winds floating
Up to the sky again

Without you
Desperately
Without you

Premium Member Leave a Message

I love you little Bluebird 
Here's bidding you sleep tight 
I'll dream about your pretty face 
Until the morning light 
And when I wake I'll dream some more 
Sweet dreams all through the day 
Some whisk you off to Paris 
Some where at home we stay 
Some place us in a postcard on 
Some mountain or some beach 
With total peace and quiet... 
Somewhere out of reach

Relaxing Beach

The beach of summer so hot and wonderful
Splashing in the ocean waves
The finding of shells and feet walking along the sand
Fulfilling our desire for more
Relaxing sun and sea breeze through our hair
Wonderful days of mornings, afternoon breezes
Makes us forget our troubles even if its only a little while
Sun, sand, breeze, cool relaxing ocean waves
Makes a wonderful postcard for sure
