Best Digressed Poems

          How about a little humor, for we as human beings need it. For it is recorded, that
even God himself winks at this type of ignorance! For we are suffering from our own...

The night Before Christmas Eve
By Franklin Price

Prologue

The Night Before Christmas
A most famous of  poems
Read  to children aloud
By their parents in homes

To children who gather
'Round the brightly lit tree
To hear Santa is coming
Presents for you and me

They have been to the mall
And they've sat...

That dreadful day i went over to play,
Husbands and wives, we called  a date, 
She said she would cook for the both of us,
And commit crimes of the flesh as it were the last of us,
Awkward talk, simmering broth and blood on the tablecloth,
With...

I was encompassed within the sullen lust
Of gentrified prepositions

Incomplete adjectives layer the magnitude of
My emptied valor

I became entrenched in the touch
The smile
The tears
Of wistful elegance

This onyx cry
Now turns into an everlasting echo

I sing to these gated heavens
Where visionary angels no longer
Give me a second glance

Expectations...

As far as the eye could see
we rode our  horse comanche man and me
we rode in snow and in the rain
through the mountains and grassy plain
we forged for food lived off the land
like his ancestors from way back when
then one night we stumbled on...

Pooperoni

A team in Spain is striving 
To create a healthy meal
Using baby poop bacteria
Now I swear this story’s real
 A team of science testers 
With a team of mid-wife wipers
Scrapped and squeezed the samples 
From a pile of dirty diapers
The theory is like yogurts 
With...

END   OF   DREAM.



Perhaps I have lost the end of dream
For indulging in too much wakefulness
Or I have replicated the regale reality
In charades of some perpetual imagined.

Will I ever stay in sleep of easeful death
Or wake up to the call of an...

Your eyes were locked on target, looking beyond what you saw into the unknown, (me) and as you stared at me, I felt like everyone of my last thoughts you owned.
As you sat there..i could hear your voice..such sweet sounds..I heard ..I listened I sat...

THERE ARE NO BLACK OR WHITE PEOPLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ask why does the human race have to live in denial?
we are but one species ere colour, country, or creed.
no one has ever seen a white or black man, indeed,
parts of the world decided colour, alluding to survival.

How can I concede on the eve of pain?

When I never saw it coming 

And I never felt the rain

Drops my heart beat stops

Down to the soles of my feet

I cannot breathe

And I cannot speak

Trying to find my way

But the dawning of a new pain...

Some people have a short attention span,
others have long-term capability
So for the sake of some of you,
I'll get straight to the point
As for the others,
I'll give a more lengthy point of view

I write short poems
for the mental insomniacs
Those who find it hard 
to keep their...

They say Marriage is a 50/50 love, yet
at its end I became that lonesome dove.
Seeing I was outnumbered, I slowly caved into 
her marital masquerade, a benevolent shapeshifter
of sorts in a solemn Pisces recompense of
"yes dear" compromises leaving my sketchy
identity in a veritable viscous check....

Nothing good can come of smoking
Forgive me if I sound like a healthnut
I’ve smoked about three packs in my lifetime so far
Mostly alone, to hide my shame
And I’ve digressed to conclude that

	Nothing good can come of smoking

Forgive me if this seems rude
For me to be...

What Makes a Friend
By Franklin Price
9/20/2014

What makes a friend I thought today
As I was lying half awake
Thinking of the friends I have
They are a lot for goodness sake

The best I married she's a sight
Don't have to look she's at my side
Through thick and thin she's...

The look on his face was one of shock, he knew he would pull the trigger but he 
did n`t know where it would hit ,
he just stood there as he fell to the ground holding his back speechless as he 
watched him hit the...
