Down a Storm Drain Gone ForeverDOWN 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...

Down a DrainageThe 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...

Down a Storm Drain Gone ForeverMy 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...

Till the Wind Blows Down a Thousand WillowsThe 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...

Down a Storm Drain Gone ForeverA 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...

Down a Piece and ThereThe 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...

Chapter 2: Held Down - a Poetry VoyageIt’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...

Double Down -A Rondel For Donald TrumpA 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...

My Mind Walked Down a One Way StreetI 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...

We'Re Headed Down a Different RoadWe'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...
