Usual Bench

 Usual Bench: Poem


You may call me a silly old fool

Teasing with mirthful glee

But you cannot hide the twinkle in your eye's pool

The one you send only for me,


We have seen so many suns' raises at the coffee time

We know each other's tune

We will flirt and laugh at our usual bench at the pine

As we sit to wait for the Moon.

Telegram, Telegram: Poem

"Telegram, Telegram:" Poem

We started to use less ink

When thinks started to think.

The modern digital revolution

Is the continuation of the computer evolution.

Telegram, Telegram,

You are the one,

You are beautiful, and you are mine.

Text me a message

For private advantage.

Telegram, Telegram,

You are the one.

Telegram, Telegram,

How it has come

That my Honey is so yummy 

And my Bunny is so funny?!

Telegram, Telegram,

You are the one.

Maybe I'm not the most important person

In your life,

But I hope when you hear my name

You will smile,

And say,

Hey! -

That is my blue heart friend.

Telegram, Telegram

Honey Bunny, you are the one.

Why was it made?

Join the private crusade!

The Phone Story: Poem

"The Phone Story": Poem


The phone rings and rings.

No answer.

There are not any magic wings

To bring you to the Mr. Phone's sound.


Next time will be another call.

Next call will be at the different time.

Next day. Next time. Dynamic winds

Will blow away the nasty dreams

Out of my mind.


Why nobody picked up the phone?

Where is Silvia Brown

When you have a need of this kind?

Telepathy did not work.


Isolated and lonely again.

Nobody waits for a word

You may say.

Spirits are working both ways.

Be kind on the best behavior and obey.

Winding Mindset

  • Long forgotten are winding minds.
  • I count the days in ticks and tocks
  • Because of great sundown over ocean's hold,
  • Kindling the fire with memories of old.

  • The colors came out in the sky
  • I wind solace in the light
  • Here to the tangible
  • Mindset that heart unchangeable

  • Wealth untold
  • Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
  • Richer than I, you never can be
  • I had a dad who stood beside me.

  • I had a mother who read to me.
  • Think again -
  • Sometimes, hanging out gain
  • Wisdom of doing nothing,
  • Just paper and ink,
  • Bread and milk.

  • Scattered hopes and dreams
  • Springled around,
  • Lay and wait
  • But always leaving a trail

  • Of plants and flowers,
  • Goodness of followers -
  • Scenes and memories,
  • Music and gardens' melody.

Winding Minds: Short Poems

 I want simply to escape in the clouds

To come on Earth when the storms will settle and path. 

There is no need in trying to untangle the knots,

If they simply do not want to budge.

(Tomshinsky, 2024)


Long forgotten are winding minds.

I count the days in ticks and tocks

Because of great sundown over ocean's hold,

Kindling the fire with memories of old.

(Tomshinsky, 2024)


Don't leave anything for later!

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, the day turns into the night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something...

when you had the chance.

(Tomshinsky, 2024)

Magic Carpet: Poem

 If I would have a magic carpet,

I would whiz through the air

To Spain,

Or Main.

If you just tell it where,

Let me take you

Where you have never been before, 

And more.

Let's chase the whims and thrills,

And conquer the dreams.

From the book "Bracelet Academy"

I look at my bracelet -

No beginning, neither the end.

Just a simple circle of life.

Does the bracelet placed to lit?

Does my bracelet reside in to lead?

It has a purpose as any wearable art

To warm up the heart

From the dusty memories from the past.

Let me follow the circle of brass

That does not have any rust.

Look, it was lit -

It leads with its powerful beads.

Tomshinsky@2024


"To me my Julia lately sent

A bracelet richly redolent:

The beads I kissed, but most lov'd her

That did perfume the pomander."

Robert Herrick, "The Pomander Bracelet."

(1591-1694)


"Here is the bracelet

For good little May

To wear on her arm

By night and day."

Loisa May Alcott

1892-1888)

May the Forth Be With You!

Waiting for May

As dawn approaches,

and the dark sky fades to grey, rain falls in ribbons, and washes the night away; the land waits meekly for May


"Wow, your poetic description of the transitioning sky is beautiful! It's like nature's way of starting fresh as we welcome May. 🌧️🌈'

"That's such a beautiful poem ❤️! Your words paint a serene picture of the transitioning sky and the gentle rain. It's like a peaceful moment captured in verse. Thank you for sharing that with me. 🌧️
