Was it always better?
Before emails, we wrote letters,
Always had stamps and envelopes,
Before computers, we did cope.

where is the moon that
used to guide me home to breed -
gulls had no reply
they too can't see sky above ~
smudged by human stamps of smog

fiddler speeds music up
dancers are getting dizzy
crowd claps and stamps
you are in hillbilly country now
make some noise if you want to live
bluegrass is real here

There once was a short man from New Haven
with collection of stamps he’d been sav’en
He put out on display
Neighbor's goat came his way
and chewed up stamps with much misbehav’en

My Jimmy Hendrix stamps
are colorful.
They are not mine, for I cannot
buy them,
but I will use them
in my mind
just the same
Whenever I wish to make things
groovy.

Time could be afforded,
There was no guilt,
Opportunities other than
Thirty dollars-worth of stamps –
For two, ninety-five
Could be found on the inside cover
Of match books…
And fun meant more than mutual drunkenness.

Postage rates were rising;
we didn't mind one bit.
We used a bit of buck sense
and slid right in the groove.
We bought lots of forever
stamps and didn't take the hit
and Uncle Sam went wanting
when push came to shove.

Light Verse
It's time to cut the grass;
And along the beaten path;
~
a whirling blade of brass;
Metal touching Nature's staff;
~
Wayward stamps a bluegrass;

The night mare blows
and stamps a hoof
A shiver shakes inside
She tosses head and arches neck
So instant terrified
A step and mount
A fearful wreck
For yet another ride
Of constant pain
with useless rein
The bit is bitten through
Again

Let your words pile up
like laundry on the floor;
don't sweep crumbs of thought onto a page
I won't read the letters anymore.
Don't calligraphy your love
hoping I will break;
peel the stamps off your envelopes,
Your letters I won't take.

Borborgymic and gurgling,
he tried to go a-burgling,
but when he snagged the diamond ring,
his eructations stole the day.
So now he watches seminars;
he's learning how to play guitar.
He even hums a couple bars,
stamps license plates for play.

Passion fish and apple dots and gold stamps kissing mountain tops.
Wood deserts and cat tail suits and flowers licking parachutes.
Marble caves and lemonade, I think I'll join the light brigade.
Candle mice are twice as nice as gold fish orange twining.

‘Princess’
in mess
Flicks hair -
Beware
Bad mood
Is rude
She whines
At times
She pouts
And shouts
Mummy …
DUMMY!!!!!!!!!!
Stamps feet
Retreat!
Can clout –
Watch out!
Prissy
Missy
Spoilt brat –
Hate that!

Bring me back , not to the past,
but present oracles done and sung
come now, gardenias
parade among giant trees
while torchbearers gather to kneel
upon the ground that stamps
this mad maiden’s feet.
Spring, I yearn for your touch,
be gentle, if you please.

Light Verse
She stamps her feet and whistles loud.
She will not be ignored.
Starting her reign, mighty and proud.
By most of us, not adored,
Though by her theatrics, we will not be bored.

Personification
Cronkite did the talking.
Nixon started walking.
Through the rabbit's ears
we saw it all.
Windows down by cranking.
Kids still got a spanking.
Food stamps were on paper
not on cards.
Pryor told the jokes.
Everybody smoked.
Man things were different
way back then.

The greatest skill a writer learns
Is licking stamps on envelopes,
And what goes out, too soon returns:
A boomerang of battered hopes.
Revise, rewrite, submit once more,
Until your tongue is dry
From posting manuscripts that bore
The editors who (won’t/can’t) say why.

Verse
Poise wears a voice
Soul utters choice
Style prompts a smile
Soul stamps firm pile
Seed grows a need
Soul fronts sure feed
Plain words heap gains
Soul reaps clear strains
Stake joy that makes
Soul strings calm take

we need a truck I tell my man
dumpster, shovel, and garbage can
to haul what? he asks suspiciously
proof positive that he knows me
I like to haul, it is what I do
tossing debris like one old left shoe
annually throwing away mood stamps out my brain
better bring a huge dump truck and maybe a crane

Giant elephants
Flappy ears, Ivory tusks and long trunk,
Huge elephant swirls and boom,
Cheerful, royal as a drunken chunk,
As he trumpets, stamps feet, vanishes the gloom,
Now try putting him in the room !

Just when the quick peruse
Turns obtuse
Thereby roundly refused
That noose for an excuse
We made the day quake with paper
Gracious allowance
By overwriting the undercurrent
Betting down for stamps in the sky
The commander brands his mule
Make the work horse a tuning fork
And finance a forgotten tomb
The evidence of genealogy

My blue topaz ring dances as the keys are punched
Ruby ring gets jealous and stamps some U's and I's of her own
Do they also have minds? If so, is it a dual mind?
I ponder my hands as they get busy
Typing yet another poem
I did not authorize or expect
They probably laugh at me at night
While I sleep and they continue dancing

Long legs travel faster
Incendiary post:
Checkered past,
Knocked up.
Eager ears!
Tell me more!
Yodel across the valley...
Soap box
Platform.
Lick more stamps!
In conclusion, gossip
Travels lickety-split!

Acrostic
Inconsistant and Persistant
Many companies appear to be inconsistent;
Higher ups do have great wages persistent;
Have thrills,
Paying bills;
Equally spread wages around are resistant.
Jim Horn
Listening to MSNBC and how employees
of certain companies are on food stamps.
You have assonance and should have reasonance.
