faded stamp clings to envelope’s thinning breath~ every inch a mile of memories drifting backward, a last whisper of a journey long finished

Love's Stamp

I was once stamped
Stamped by love
In my body's skin
Where the barcode remained
But love escaped
Due to an unknown cause
Aimless I am
Stranded and befogged
Like a headless bird
Unable to find its nest
Peaceless
Tranquillity seems illusory.

Premium Member A stamp

A stamp retreating  to a corner
Travels round the world
Without boundary
No political
Colourless
Timeless
With wavy emotion of the lovers
With startling surprise of the children
With  overwhelmed joy of the parents
And now with the humbleness of me
Who is one of his owner

Tramp Stamp

There was a cute young man
where I worked
Who was buying his
fishing license
And I 
so matter o factly 
asked him if he wanted
his tramp stamp with that
He quickly chimed in
Let's see
I am going camping
and if I catch a tramp
without the stamp
is the DNR 
gonna fine me??

Cramp From Using Food Stamp

Cramp from Using Food Stamp

Outside was damp  and do have a cramp,
Each time when I had used a food stamp;
Shopping at store,
With rest  of poor,
And have no home and so out must camp.

Jim Horn

Remember when I lived in Seattle area and
people would slept under the bridges.

You
                        Travel
                     Far across
                 Waters and lands
                Remaining in place
                   In one corner
                   You move on
                       To reach
                           Me

Premium Member Stamp Out Bullying

Get them in the schoolyard
kick'em in the pants
force them to listen to
your insufferable rants

Make them sit in silence
loudly make it clear
any one who TALKS to them
will soon be sittin' there.

Tell them they'll be punished
until THEY act as WE
constantly remind them
that KINDNESS IS THE KEY.

Food Stamp Phone

a food stamp phone, a food stamp phone,
my ole lady wants a food stamp phone.
chatting all night with jean, tom, and joan
my ole lady wants a food stamp phone.
says she must have one to connect with the 
people she needs to talk to the most and I'm always
gone and she's so alone.
she's willing to give up t.v. and whatever else there is
as long as she can have a food stamp phone.

The Stamp and the Stigma

The office of credibility
Stamps their approval
Signifying
A latent rising over the stalk

Chafing, is the stigma
Medicalizing or criminalizing
The avid loophole watermarks
Blurry in their dispossesion
Searching for means to an end

What end of perspective?
Could ask for proof
Of insanity
In a doctors authoritative opinion

Avoid the brain drain
because the permanent records track
Putting the mark of cain
On social histories of the past

The serpent stamp is on the file Pt 5

They may come and go says Samael, so sayeth the wiccan prince who some say too ushers in hell, but hell is reserved for the iniquitous and the evil, where tortured until they are ash, is the only white steeple, the comely few who verily detest when mothball mouths are not cottonmouth bassets the silly strummed up wheat, which pervades the day when the heat is nigh on noon complete, the southern seer, grampy to some, has black boys and girls this Samael sung.

Premium Member Marine Corps USPS Stamp

This stamp brings visions to our eyes Of years gone by, in summer's skies. He left to join our freedom's sound; And band of brothers, there he found. To guard our freedom, his thoughts turned- For love of country surely burned; With comrades joined, to then unfold a unity of strength untold. Two hundred fifty years this year Marine Corps- still, to us so dear! This stamp will proudly send our mail. With thanks, all veterans we hail!

Premium Member Gold Stamp Tableau

Sultry red,
      yellow pillow sky,
        teased tandem,
      with citric, 
    shades afloat oe’r waking town,
       mirror bubbly folk in lane     

       jubilant, 
   trademark burrs catching,
     glad echoes,
    urge urban,
  tableau of chalkmarked gold stamp,
      where sheer pluck triumphs 

        buses swerve,
    rapid rail steel track,
     squeaky noise,
    hoot … toot…. cabs,
   en route symbol’s “jaunty” march,
       co migrant orbit

Dont Stamp Your Feet - Limerick 3 Contest

Brothers Grimm could tell many a tale 
Some of the endings could turn you pale
Rumpulstilskin stamped his shoe
Got stuck tore himself in two
That edition* did not go on sale



1857 version of Story

The ending of the 1857 edition saw Rumpelstiltskin die by being ripped in two. Now that is pretty gruesome, right? But how did this event happen? Did someone do it to him, or did something else happen.
