I said just breathe in, uncompress your lungs—
re-tongue a kindness
in through mouth—now, hold your death.
Pen's pulses, still, stand witness.

Foolhardy sixteen-year-old driver Jay
Risked his life to show off for a friend
Felt invincible every single given day
Until his life came to a crashing end

There once was a naughty girl from L.A.
On Halloween she put on a display
She got dressed as a cell phone
Her push buttons made men groan
And she led many men far astray.

Premium Member Brexit Or Text It

Boris Johnson looks just like Donald Trump
Which means that for liberals he's a chump
   He swears he will Brexit
   If not he will text that
Voters can place his rump in a sump-pump

Text Mad

The chirps
Of her phone
Always make 
People groan

*Inspired by a girl on my bus in the mornings, who spends the entire journey sending and receiving text messages

Mouthfuls of air
     floating on
letter images
     of vocal sounds-
This inner tune ..
   a spontaneous outflow
of natural rhythm of
the cadence 
      of our emotions
in spoken words

Breakup Text

Last night you texted, "Honey, it’s the end"
But I will not cry…my heart will soon mend
‘Cuz I’ve got so many calls
Unlike you, from guys with balls
And tonight, those balls are of your best friend

Not Text Books

My first book is big book
Next came all text books

First book taught me to unite
Text books taught me to divide

I go by the texts in one book 
Not guide by these text books 
The texts as per my first book

From a 23rd Century Text

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue.

Premium Member A Serial Texter

Written by Gail R DeBole
on June 20, 2022

A texter who texted all day
When in-person had not much to say.
He lived life on his text-screen
Never ran out of text-steam
And sent messages that seemed ultra-brave.

Premium Member the END

Why do the texts keep on coming?
Why does my phone have to chirp?
Don’t they know,
the election is over..
It ended when I cast my vote.

Happy Birthday By Text

I hope you have a happy day
and do the things you like to do -
I'm not around, because you left
and she is living now with you...

Text Talk - Not

This text talk won’t last, it’s just a fad
Unsolicited text made me mad

Why should I pay for a commercial?
Now to me, it’s not controversial

My Cell phone provider and I talked
Now incoming text will all be blocked

When you play fifty or sixty 
scrabble games day
you get incessant beeps 
on your cell phone


day and night, 
weekends, and week days.
It is a comfort 
knowing other insomniacs are up,
not able to sleep either. 
I love this!

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
