Moses had the first tablet
that to the cloud could connect....

Without protest 
we watch freedom 
dissolve away 
like an Alka Seltzer tablet....

oh lord
what
written upon
the
blue rose sky tablet
a set of 
lovely wings
that
yearns to fly...

What did we do with lonely laxative; 
We would be giving it to a relative; 
Create a storm, 
In tablet form,  
And now a loose life he loves to live.

that's the spelling of disease,
harmful and painfully killing me.
How in the world will I combat thee?

Take one tablet by mouth 4 days a week....

She has yet to hear the screaming, this new child of my child;
the news of angry wars, pumped out, merely ambient background.

Too soon, tablet in hand, she will search, see, and wonder: why?...

Is there no pen in sight
Or tablet to inscribe
How may I then enthrall
Visions to Imbibe

So, I raise my glass
To merry thoughts of Spring
Far beyond the lull of Fall
Sans pen, I may drink...

With ball point in hand, 

 I write anew. 

 On tablet command 

 my point-of-view, 

 one for only them to see.   
     
 These two objects won't disagree. 

 I hold them together, as they do me....

it always wasn't
since then ten

Mel Brooks had
fifteen until he

dropped a tablet
cracking like 

a joke that we
all can believe

in again and sin
again because

we don't know
what were

the other
commandments...

It is 12:45 P.M. and I haven’t moved, except my fingers on the tablet, tapping out poem after poem. Funny how such actions do not move the scale.

How do poets gain weight without food?
   Why do we eat without thought?...

Santa sat in his office nook
Hoping to read from his tablet or book

Although not too tech savvy
A laptop he bought quite flashy

Within days, Facebook was his nemesis, a proverbial fish hook
Too many friend requests gave him a befuddled look

God said nothing, wrote nothing,
this is how the mystery works;

the soul of mankind is a radio,
a quill, pen, a stylus, or tablet.

The eyes of the mind are a TV
through which God speaks and appears
as You.

Once though He did use a tablet,
a stone one....

A cemetery stone, my tablet cold.
An epitaph I read — the shards drool.
Those pretty words! I long to finger gold.
Instead reflective glass, the story’s cruel.

My tablet wasn't charging, there must have been a glitch 
I jiggled the white cable, and soon got to screaming pitch
I asked my helpful hubby, if could he sort out the hitch
Then hubby started laughing... I’d not flicked the 'on' switch!

There's a poem in my pocket 
a rhythm in my head, 
There's a tablet in my bag
and a journal by my bed;

There's a catchy phrase
scratching at my skin,
There is a couplet 
searching for a friend;

There's a reason 
looking for a rhyme;
A way to freeze a thought
Forever in time....

Can’t sleep
Counts sheep

Shuts eyes
And thighs (LOL)

Him snore
Won’t score

So tired
Inspired

Gets up
Tea cup

Tablet?
Not yet

Lies down
Big frown

Needs loo
Have to

Get up
Use butt

Bed time
Divine

I snore
Once more

Yes, I hear him
His soul sings still
His tablet, with words is filled
Living, yet on
His melodies of life 
Betray him not 
Did his pen and his pad
Renaissance man of his millennium
A savior to the verse
A miracle to the chorus
Lord of the lyrics
God’s New Headliner
(1987-        )...

teardrops appeared on my tablet
on both sides of the glass
mine on top
hers underneath,
shed from miles away

which was which
who was where
did not matter
any longer

real or virtual,
all merged into one 
- a brook of joy
running through the valley of time
destined for 
unchartered pleasures...

They have bound you with the chains from their youth
Pull at the shackles that latch you to them
Rip them away and struggle for freedom
Strain against the destiny that is yours
Stretch your mind toward the heavens, smash the
Tablet of rules written by people with
No emotions, No Feelings
No hope

I have a pill to slow my heart
beat until I'm calm and serene.

I have another to make me happy,
it keeps my thoughts squeaky clean.

I have a tablet to slow my mind
and give me respite in sleep.

I have another to keep me balanced,
reasonable and keen.

Oh where would I be without these
cogs, making me part of the Machine....

Fierce little whirlwind
Swirling and folding, effervescing
Substance collision, a nucleus
Tiny fireworks rising then bursting
A globe in a bucket of acid
Being consumed, absorbed fully, watching
This miniature landscape burning up
Under the weight of its own sun
Dispersing completely, another world 
In a glass of milky way...

It's 2am in the morning
and even though i'm tired
my mind just can't shut off
it's like it's been rewired!

my body feels the energy
slowly falling still
but my mind is somewhere else
It's awake against my will.

I forgot to take the tablet
that sings my mind to sleep
so until tomorrow evening
I guess i'll just count sheep!...
