Fog

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

The telephone was a successful sell
Which lead to the mobile phone
And the internet in your home

Tale Erectus

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
The wires are full
With a flock of sparrows spread
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...

We knew it might be his last.
Still the phone never rang.

Gotcha

I never thought that I would fall
for that one prank telephone call,
I ran around my yard -
no hidden grand prize card...
not the next millionaire at all!

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!"

Daring to open the windows.
Letting in a first sprightly spring breeze.

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.

Phone

Phones 
Hydrophone,
Xylophone, 
Saxophone, 
Homophone,
Megaphone, 
Microphone,
Dictaphone,
Telephone,
Why oh why can’t I find my CELLPHONE!!

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
