Best Postcard Poems

Dear All


Hot today. Hired a car. Took to hills. Travelled far.

Narrow road. Never ends. Sweat on wheel. Hairpin bends.

Glanced at temp. Glanced at fuel. Aircon found. Turned to cool.

Island sun. Not like ours. Single track. Other cars.

Parked at top. Lovely sight. Valleys. Vineyards. Left and...

Proudly she stands on slopes covered in snow
One graceful woodland deer her eyes aglow
She strikes a pose unmoving, head held high
Twitching her ears as flapping birds go by.
Catching the light of early morning sun
Across the stream reflected colours run.
Right by the lake the drifting mist...

Picture Postcard

The air sighed heavily
as Winter rested its head
on soft somber clouds
lightened earlier by a sifting
of rain, snow and ice.

It smiled softly at the moon
which, once more, made
a welcomed appearance
in the mantle of night’s sky
sprinkled lightly with stars.

It shivered considerably
near the trees in the cities
wearing...

Chorus
My life is a postcard
and my dreams are free
Times can be hard
But not with you loving me

It's been a bad day
and I don't know why
I got up this morning
and I wanted to cry
Like a football game
with that one perfect goal
together we are a team
you make...

THE POLITICALLY CORRECT POSTCARD

One picture is worth a thousand words
(And a flower is worth a whole lot more).
This was the import of the card you sent me,
Flu-eyed,  runny nose and a sore

Throat.   I was to dismiss, on the merit
Of sexism,  the...

   of faraway lands 
Conversations about deltiololgy

Mountains, clouds caping
In land of water falling
Tall, straight pines climbing
 
Many shades of green
Still paddy water serene
Steep hills between
 
Spring swallows welcome
Good fortune in ev'ry home
Happy we have come...

I prayed to God hoping he’d send me a distraction.
Then I just stood around, and well, nothin’ happened.

So I said, “This just proves you don’t really exist,
and it leaves no excuse not to take the initiative.”

So I wrote you a postcard postmarked from Hell,
and I...

I got a postcard just today,
It was sent from France,
Where heads your way?

When first I read it,
I simply broke down.
I sat there, crying,
I needed you around.

My life’s full of lies,
You’re one of them.
When I opened my eyes,
You were gone again.

Now I’m sitting here,
Thinking of life.
I’m...

I awoke in a kitchen
on a pillow of aprons;
my body covered with bruises 
from a mob of angry patrons.

Then I came to in my bed
with all my ex-lovers
and their menstrual blood
absorbed by my covers.

Then I was asleep on the freeway, 
alone in the carpool lane;
drove...

I hope you get this postcard
From Morphinialand
There really is so much to see
Read on, you’ll understand

Latex geese ride rubber ducks
That fly along the ground
While newly discovered welliphants
Wait in lost and found

Blueberry flavored raindrops
Climb up from a deep glue sky
As inter-dimensional wilder beasts
Feast on lion pie

Toffee...

I

when the world had no headsets
the sunbathing crowd
fell asleep to the sounds of
transistors played loud
while the deckchairs and windbreaks
kites, beach balls and more
formed the stripes, lines and circles
that painted the shore
and the longer I walked
on the sand to that sea
the more the sea seemed
to get...
