Remember Pearl Harbor
Seventy-eight Years Ago
By Franklin Price
12/07/2019

Seventy-eight years ago,
At the rising of the sun
Came the day of infamy; 
Our present times begun

The sleeping giant awakened,
To become the greatest power 
Would take four years and many lives
To have our finest hour

The pools of water on the pavement gleam
Reflect  the colours  of the   shops and cars
Giving us a feeling all’s serene

As I walk I wander and daydream
I sit on an  old wall,  the moss like...Read More

this is the time of year
when love is near
you spend with a grim
to buy gifts for friends
for someone calls 
you honey

The Snow Falls

Softly my love, 
I watch every flake,
come slowly from no where, 
outside my vision, 
beyond the window boundaries,
magical…even whimsical…
the white soft “above”, 
to the hard ground here below. 
soon a giant blanket of pure…beauty. 

You fell asleep in...Read More

B-y sharing the good news, 
S-natching people from fire to live

If It Bleeds After Scratching It

If it bleeds after scratching it, then you went too far.
I see a parade of dead people walking by me in this old dream.
They are eating bananas and I recognize their faces as friends,
I hear...Read More

The Unwanted Glance

Look closely at my hand. 
Proudly I display a band. 
It tells everyone in the room, 
I am taken. 
I do not have to say more. 
It is not necessary. 
God is the witness, 
and none shall separate....Read More

The Forgotten holidays

Written or in this case typed…
correctly; “The” as it was at the beginning correct. 
“Forgotten” as it was naming not the action but the lost.
(holidays) No capital as they are thought to be small, 
and unimportant by most...Read More

Time I Hate You

I love to Hate You. 

You are too late, 
too early, 
too fixed, 
too fluid, 
too much, 
too little, 
too…

I need you. 
I want more of you. 
I can’t stand they way you use me, 
I should...Read More

THE SADDEST PORTRAIT 
Poem by Koffi Mtonga

SEEING through the window, are clouds which move slow or maybe the dozing fellow has decided to recall of the vibrant days as he digs deep into his bag of memories 
Alas! He's all...Read More

Dance by the Fire

My dear, my dear, I fear…
It has been years and years.
I will not let that stop me. 
The candle in the window is lit. 
The children are gone…
home. 

The lights on the tree, sparkle. 
The scent is...Read More

Amber Angel

Made of glass, 
from some far off place. 
Brown like gold, 
warm like fire, 
dance upon the logs, 
of every house pyre. 

Love and gentle thoughts, 
for the few without a home, 
some that have lost, 
all, even their...Read More

A place where butterflies live
A place which helps me get happy
My own home,my own phone
My wonderful view of a drone
Shinning lights and wondrous piles
You must come along sometime
And greet upon a passing pansy
My Grandfather's wishing valour
A home away from homes!...Read More

Got married on Thanksgiving Day;
A backyard was the venue.
Extended family gathered;
There was turkey on the menu.

It inconvenienced everyone
Yet those who loved us made it.
The traffic was horrendous
And the stress did thus pervade it.

But now, 44 years later,
Here we are and...Read More

I was not ready to lose you.
But you were taken from me, anyway.

Suddenly.

On a sunny day that started so normally.
Without any sign of the emotional pain to come.

Abruptly.

Life’s like that, I guess.
It shouldn’t be that way.  It just is.

Unfair.

Losing...Read More

Important Me

I drive a bright car. 
It is not a lemon 
but it has the same color.
I don’t understand, 
why the man laughed, 
as I drove it off the lot. 
I should go back…
and punch him.

It smells just right, 
no...Read More

Love is hiding from me
I’m aware of it
Every flaw that I have can make you scared a bit
Did I hear insecure ?
If the shoe fit wear it 
And in my case every pair will fit 

I can’t find love because...Read More
