Stickers Poems - Poems about Stickers

Do you recall yesterday, Or even last month’s sway? How we drifted worlds apart— When I thought we shared one heart. You were my symphony, My dreams of family.

I scribbled quickly As they wrote their final exam Little notes of appreciation A special individualized message Thanking each student For having been in my class And for bringing me joy Reminding each one Of the potential that lies within For each is a remarkable individual A personalized message Of encouragement And a shared Bible verse Psalm 37: 4 This was a special class Made up of pastors A journalist An...

Again on the highway reading bumper stickers this morning "life is a beach, You know what I mean" "got Jesus,got milk? buy one,get one free" "got virgins?go to Virginia" "dropout and proud" "my dog is smarter then your student of the month" "bad boys rock, bad girls rock and roll" "lady,your middle finger stinks" "retired,no boss,no bills" "back up with your bad breath, you freak" "hotties for Obama, rich for Mitt" "Jesus saved me from...

suck me in, spit me out. try to wipe the dirty flavour from your mouth. i'll linger there, like you linger in my mind. but my heart, thats a different story. far from broken, yet i thought i was in love. its empty. hollow. perhaps its made of tin. do i even have a heart? or many spread throughout, like peanuts or stickers? in my lungs, my calves, my wrists, my teeth. you...
