DOWN A STORM DRAIN GONE FOREVER.

There was once a wicked, jealous old human,
Who lived in a house down the lane, 
Not far from us,
Ugly and mean sounding, couldn’t tell
If man or woman,
Was narky to the neighborhoods children, 
Including me,
We discovered this human was woman with 
One large bosom!
She lived on her own, no children or...

On a beautiful afternoon, seeking...

The drizzle whips mildly like an omen
Along the ashen lane ; and I am troubled
While gazing through  a drainage
Filled with mud and waylaid boughs,
As  a  quivered sigh trails below the cement
Until my knees bow down,  wobbling.

I linger around  almost numb
In the gradual  dip of sunset’s  orange hue;
While ...

My heart was racing, for the boy
that I adored had handed me
a note he told me wait to read,
so home I ran excitedly!

I did not dare to read it yet,
for he was walking down the street
with friends of his. Oh, how I hoped
that he had written something sweet.

When almost home, I crossed the street
but tripped!...

I guess when memories of the past, 
       never seem to fade or pass, 
       we find ourselves left walking ,
       down a long and lonely road.
You know each step, which we take
    ...

The judge sent me to spend ten years in jail,
After a sweet talking lawyer saved my tail,
The wind which blows the soul of men from grave to grave,
Told me of your messages and reminded me of the pleasure we had those days,
They called me nuts and said that they were all in my head,
Especially the...

The country, people, and the village,
All equal, as if, for the first time, 
All of that gave a fresher image,
Nay, 'tis but a relative vantage.
Save fresh road, to its left bears a sign.

"A few more feet and we will be there." 
Says my brother, older by a year. 
We each sit on a small wooden...

A tornado warning came upon a sunny day
While rushing home I saw a child staring down a storm drain
I stopped and asked what do you see
I see my heart drifting away

I received my boyfriends heart on this Valentines day
As I was walking home the wind blew it away
I ran to catch it and it fell...

It’s complicated…
I’m the king of jealousy
Keep me up
I’m held down

Rumors are like the watery triangle of nasty errors… 
(Aphradere waterfalls fall on us)
My black and white future is full of grey blurs 
(Remember, we are on each other's bus)
Efforts and hard work got me where I am – 
I am mature and trying to find...

A Rondel for Donald Trump

As those Fake News polls keep coming 'round
And their predictions drag you down,
Just face the music like a Man
Deny it all, the best you can:
Try to deny that deepening frown.

There is, alas, an ever-growing sound
A quiet voice ever gaining ground
That makes you grasp at each more desperate plan
To salvage your sinking...

I walked along a one way street,
A one way street inside my head.
I was in charge of every thought I made, every step I took,
I knew exactly every word I said.

But people mistook me, didn’t listen,
Mistaking the meaning of what I spoke.
They heard the words in a different way than had been intended,
It was only...

We're Headed Down a Different Road
By Franklin Price
5/6/2016

We're headed down a different road
Could be either good or bad
The times are so much different now
Than the “remember whens” we had

Values that we had back then
Being challenged ever day 
We, and the children, of the present time,
Lead life a different way

No longer are we waiting
A day or...

Years i felt it, there was know way out of the abiss, no point in giving a shout, who would hear it and who would care? so alone in the world just as if it was bare. 

My cries went un heard, no comfort i felt, alone to dwell with the cards i had been...
