Telephone Number Poems | Examples


Forgotten Venice

The Kodachrome is Venetian-dusk.
The photograph still perishing
from its vintage exposure.

On the back of the image,
bleeding to invisibility,
a telephone number.
The London area code is quaint,
only a young man on a ‘Triumph’ motorbike
could trace it now.

I still want to.

Forgotten Venice

You grin,
the Kodachrome is Venetian-dusk.
The photograph still perishing
from its vintage exposure.

On the back of the image, 
bleeding to invisibility,
a telephone number.
The London area code is quaint,
only a young man on a ‘Triumph’ motorbike
could trace it now.

I still want to try.


Catacysm

Nickelangelo carved a cucumber
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!"

Necessary Movement In a Major

pleasure i  seek without you
pain i get from the thorns of curiosity
when i knock again, your blessing answers the door
i say nothing and leave to take a walk through the woods
i never look back and i quickly forget your name and telephone number
it is then that something in the auspices of suddenness clicks
life has no stoplight and even less mercy
realization can be a light seldom seen
growth i discovered despite you....

Premium Member Speed Dating

I recently attended a speed dating service,
but I did not enter into it at all serious.
I went into this speed dating service strictly as a goof
and when it ended I was left with indisputable proof
of what my true presence and brutal honesty would do to all women
if ever I approached women in this manner in a real social situation.
Not one single telephone number did yours truly receive
which did not surprise me in the very least
because the true honesty I displayed most forthcoming
seemed to traumatize all of those poor speed dating women.


To Bleed and To Brawl

today I smoked a cheap cigar,
tainted sweet,
plastic tip,
differently.

sitting by the kitchen window,
i caught the smoke between
my lips,
through my nose,
smooooooooooooooke.

try to be profound when bills pile up,
you spend more time
counting the bills which outweigh the ideas
on how to pay them.

where to get the money?
how to get the money?

then you look in your wallet
and find a sheet of paper
with a telephone number.

a person you know,maybe
could lend you money......ah hope!!!!!


you dial the number and the robot voice tells you
the telephone number has been disconnected.
