Fog in the morning
Shrouding the telephone pole
Across the still street
The mysteries of the world
Shrouded in my ignorance

Which lead to the mobile phone
And the internet in your home

a telephone pole --
partial remains of a tree
now wearing wires
instead of leaves -- stands tall.
its splinters decry its new woods.

Stump,cut low to the Earth,

a telephone pole stands in the background

         ....silently cries,

       " I was once a tree..."

Far apart from one another

Resting from their long journey

Above All

Endeavors of granger,
spit on the wall,
exits to nowhere,
uptown and all,
empty, vacant, all alone,
chewing gum on the telephone.

Good Night, Tonight

Now I lay me down, hopin' sleep...
Another wakeful day, I doubt can keep,
And if the Lord should call me home...
I only hope, he uses the telephone...

I never thought that I would fall
for that one prank telephone call,
I ran around my yard -

From a very old piece of scrap lumber
A priest had a grope
But the Pope said, "Nope!
For now, just get his telephone number!"

Premium Member So Very Quiet

It’s so very quiet
my ears hum hum 
with the music 
my head makes 
when there’s 
nothing happening
inside or out there
where it’s cold 
and my telephone never rings.

Party We Have Thrown

Party We have Thrown

Now that we are all fully grown,
Real wild party we have thrown;
Loved so much;
Stayed in touch,
Then told everyone on telephone.

Suddenly a familiar voice transmitted through
The telephone, overjoyed we laughed for moments
As true colors  of friendship showed through;
So showed joy therein our simple moments.

Nature the Destroyer

raging wind 
with deafening sound--
dead telephone


mighty oaks
uprooted now--
traffic jam


a dancing crow
on a broken scarecrow--
celebration time

The Telephone

Sighing, she watches the phone,
wishing someone would call her -
once, it hardly stopped ringing
and she would answer, sighing -
but the silence is worse...

Praying and Receiving

Songbirds bathing
In the liquid sun
Spacing themselves
Evenly upon
The gray 
Telephone lines
Still, one by one
Praying and receiving
Their call from above
Well, ain't this a good God

Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
previously had to yell;
but then he invented the telephone,
which made it easier to chat when in a room on his own.

Premium Member Standing Silently On a Telephone Pole

He stands silently on the telephone pole
Not caring if we see him or not
Most of us miss him
Those who do see, smile,
Knowing his sense of humor and his mother
Who will be furious about it
