IN A GILDED INSTANT The monarch’s wings opened as a picture book, fluttering by. It glided, uncertain but undeterred, through a gentle haze of gold and shadow, the garden’s hush punctuated by the faint murmur of leaves. Sunlight filtered in rare skeins, dappling the monarch’s patterned wings as it hovered, hesitated, and then pressed onward—a flicker...

Touching this postal stamp shaped just like a sponge How many more of these stamps would be launched The beautiful colors and the humor of animation Cheering up a heart through this line of communication The hues being used could moisten the stamp Cute little stamps to use by those in summer camp It has to be an...

To have your picture on the face of a stamp, Is a honor reserved for the ones who cultivated change Among the mèlange of inspiring faces, Lays the face of someone who served on the basis, Of freedom Behind a small black and white picture, A mighty face lays With eyes of a fighter, eloquent hair, neatly parted The words, Black white Trust danger Defiance hope All...

In a world of paper, colors bright and bold, Lives a stamp collector, with stories to be told. With albums of wonder, and pages of dreams, Each stamp a journey, or so it seems. But shadows can linger, and hearts can break, For the pain of loss is a toll we all take. An...

Stamps, perforated passport squares, Took me oft where I wished to be On my own low budget world tour Warm, safely tucked in dad’s armchair. I loved to dream in dad’s warm chair A young wallflower who would dare Brave adventures safe in my head Free from boldness, courage, and dread. Flipping album pages happily, On safari in Kenyan lands Lions and leaping gazelles roamed...

If stamps could talk, What stories they could tell, Of places they have seen, Of messages delivered, Of countries they welcomed into the world, Of countries fare-welled. If stamps could talk, What stories they could tell, Of letters lost and letters found, Of being trapped behind furniture for decades, Of being stamps of Royal importance, Of being forged outside the Royal mint. If stamps could talk, What...

Footprints in sand, indelible till the tide comes in, reliable impressions, etched, embedded, enveloped to form an album of traces: crab hole excavations, scurries of hurrying birds, seaweed twirls wind-driven in curls, tiny sand flea hop-craters, crab claw side-step shuffles, drift-wood scuffs and scuppers remnants of tidal riffles and ruffles, snap-shots of scrapes, stomps, scats and scars. Footprints like graffiti deface the awe of seascape...

Villanelle: Whenever Life stamps me down under heels Whenever Life stamps me down under heels I think of those who died living deaths young So say i who am i to bleat meek squeals Ages gone by how many mute appeals Fell on deaf bigot ears great lives un-sung Whenever Life stamps me down under...

Aimless foot prints mark a wind torn shore deserted rifts splitting a secluded scene, (where romance rocked a heart between painted paradise and realness once adored) our heads inevitable drift even deeper inside And as blood red curtains paint a choppy sea where last sun rays die a temporary death, (so wondrous how they hold...

Remembering S & H Green Stamps By Elton Camp This was at one time a marketer’s dream Loved, though most knew it was a scheme For each dime spent, one stamp you got Soon they would add up to quite a lot Grocery stores that wouldn’t participate Their decision would soon come to hate For about the stamps customers did care And they’d take...
