Best Brass Poems

With salt in the air beyond sandy grass
Ocean waves crash on the rocky shore
Under golden sun, shining like brass

Beyond the dunes I could want no more
Where seagulls dive and the sailboats ride
Ocean waves crash on the rocky shore

Seashells float into the caves to hide
Everything rolls...

Woke up this morning ready to fly
Each day's an adventure for you and I
Grab the brass ring
Sweet songs to sing
Spread your wings like a pretty butterfly

Athlete kabob meat to skewer
Olympic games meet the sewer
Those ratings too flat
Create new dangers that
Pander to the TV viewer...

Gazing across her stately field of daisies, this domain..
Gathering love's bouquet arranging they a repose's vase
In heart's boudoir a shooting star; sitting, atop Scarab's sill....

Brass flower vase
Auctioned by millions
Stood in a nightstand

Rust lines on bottom
Reflect the memories
Encapsulated by time

Gold engraved initials
Symbol of blessed times
Dimmed by regrets 

Polished with dedication
Brought back lost shine
Dulled by indifference...

Brass that masquerades as gold,
Fit for any photo-fit, a counterfeit concealed.
I know, I know you,
Hiding naive amber under the Sun,
When you need not be devalued.

Glass that tries a diamond life
Won't shine the same despite its cut.
Not fit for their crowns-
The product of sand and not...

Their litter mates left one at a time
Except for Sass and Brass
They were worried; were they adoptable?
Would anyone want them?
Don’t worry their mother said. God has a plan.

They were taken together
To a home with an older couple.
They got cuddling and love.
Best of all they cuddled...

I thought of you yesterday, just as I did today.
I relished in the romance, wondered why you couldn’t stay.
I reminisced our past love, as tears began to trickle way.
I wallowed in dark misery, at a tattered soul you did betray.

You always said you’d love me,...

BUT THERE’S NO BRASS RING TO REACH FOR
You know what makes my life such a wondrous whirl?
Very little as far as I can think of
Yes, there’s been ladies, women and my first shapely little girl
But I wanted more than just a spiritual  love

You know...

Together at all odds
dysfunctional applause
confirms its trained reality
to battle as in reckless scowl
the matter bearing flaws!

Think not appraisingly
some truth the real well spring,
Ah so ~ it's force, that brings to wit
a winning that is still albeit
contention as the core remit!

The realm of sentry's skies
while flowers...

Rainy evening and
the blues jump out at me!
I've heard that song before -
but not drifting through shallow walls
on Eutaw Street where the sidewalks
Have been rolled up at five...
Rainy evening
and some sly musical note says
"Close your umbrella and come on in,
no need to walk alone!"...
"No Fish...

Brass Star Award
By Franklin Price
06/10/2020

For gallant service to our country
Are the bronze and silver star
Given for above, beyond
And far above the bar

I'm hereby recommending
A new star, made out of brass,
Reserved for those in Washington
Above, beyond, the normal ass 

Military not considered
For this medal, we won't...

Brass windchimes
ring melodic time
backed up
and down,
back
and forth
by boisterous breeze voices
blowing somewhat more silent choices
below

Before benighted rejoice
reprise to rise
and fall
wounded fail
yet again

Melodious inside intentions
to ring true
love's restoring stories
of local justice circling
dynamic spirals inside
looking resounding out
virally
conspiratorially
anticipating healthier life within
Mother's sensual gusts

Overpowering peaceful chimes
global resting
arresting rhymes
with powerful enculturing...

Upon my way here to visit with, my loving bro ~

While as once more finding myself in need

Of, side stepping all your dark tide poes....

So, “Kiss My Brass.”...
