Totally Optional Prompts ~ One way poetry
~
A mailbox demands
Stamp duty on
Traffic
Headed for
The chamber of
Decisions
~
This is
One time when
One choice
One action
Directs
One way
Forward
Action
~
And once
The move is
Executed
Only
Some other
Brandishes
The key to
Treasure or
Trash
The moment
~
One way
Poetic
Justice
~
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

Thoughtful and interesting, Gemma!
I have been away from home too much to really keep up with all the blogs I should.
I really enjoy yours.
A very different mailbox Gemma :)
It is amazing, Gemma, how you are able to weave your colorful yarn of thoughts from a simple picture that inspired you to create such a lovely poetry creation.
Your thought succeed to play with my imagination.
Very beautiful, indeed.
I wish you well.

the majority of what ends up in my mail box gets banished to the bin before i even leave the post office.... one way alright....
I like the mailbox, Gemma!
making inroads into I know what not
Well seen! I like it!
Hi Gemma!
How much more than the mail, then, is out of our hands...
I always love visiting.

I prefer email, but I like this piece.
lovely... i agree, who would know the power of the mailbox... its subtleties pull you into a false sense not knowing what will come to your door... it would make a good mystery story don't you think... but then again, those lovely letters from friends what a blessing.. b/c of email and blogs we don't send letters so much anymore...
Very unique, Gemma. Great interpretation of the prompt, me thinks.
