For Hard Cold Cash

This small medium at large
kibitzer did appear
more brash (albeit) poetically,
and insinuate with soft pedal blare
perhaps at the expense of dare
ring to losing followers, this crash
test dummies star performer
did not mean to ensnare,

perhaps hypnotically tugged
heartstrings with his...

A Young Life Perished, Earlier Today
There was a thing rolling on the corner of the street
Round, hairy, small, but not hard to notice
And a body, lying faced down on the corner of the street
So fragile, so young, so small, hard to miss.
I heard the scream of a woman, and sounds...

If I Were To Meet An Earlier Version of Me
Doubtful at times, an optimist by nature,
Proud of these times yet disappointment is never a stranger,
The tears that left my eyes mellowed the laughters that burst me into life,
The wrongs I did, corrected my survival to thrive,

Those screams left me out of breath,
Emptied my chest...

Obama Has No Coconuts - Revised From Earlier Version
I've watched this bum that some call President - Commander In Chief,

He made dozens of promises during his first campaign and none he did keep,

Promised "CHANGE" on a grand scale and has only made this country worse,

And if you carefully look at his overall record...

I Earlier Saw
I earlier saw a pixie,
small and pointy, thin
and cute, but the People
sauntered freely as
they crushed it
with their boot.

I later saw a mushroom,
home to many tiny things,
but the People, hardly seeing,
took the ground when
they had wings.

Just then, I heard bright
laughter, sounds of sparkling
chandeliers, but the People
liked...

Rebuttal To a Poem Posted Earlier
I can't help but find it ridiculously absurd
when people call Biden a liar and a fraud
yet believe Trump is truthful with his word.
Cheering his fictitious claims, they applaud!

That man has spun so many webs of lies,
that he has to tell more to cover his butt.
Blaming...

Snow Showers Earlier Today December 9th 2020 Yielded Negligible Accumulation
Snow showers earlier today December 9th, 2020 yielded negligible accumulation

Though anyone who saw
and/or watched local news would be more wise
the brief flurry of crystalline precipitation
came as a complete surprise,
cuz yours truly prefers
getting strangled courtesy neckties
versus being given spoiler alert
subsequently forced to give reciprocal highfives.

I generally...

Earlier
I haven’t heard the songs yet
But the trees are out for sale.
The autumn goods are off the shelves
And winter scenes prevail.

The stores are filled with ornaments
And ads are pushing toys.
Salvation Army bells will soon
Compete with city noise.

It seems that every year
The Christmas season gets here...

Earlier Days
Written: by Tom Wright
7-19-2016

The sweet scent of remembrance,
Alternates between past and present;
As I summon thoughts of youth,
When time was ours,

I stare at images of life, as two, united.
Understanding that, 
The years can never be reclaimed, 
Just remembered;
...

Premium Member Christmas Is Coming Earlier
Christmas is Coming Earlier
By Franklin Price
11/24/2016

Christmas is coming earlier
Most each and every year
Black Friday defined the movement
Made commercialism clear

If we keep advancing 
When the Christmas season starts
We will soon be back to Easter
And all that that imparts

Maybe the Easter Bunny
Could help deliver all the toys
Making...

I Left the Convention Earlier This Year First Time
only the mind can stop gravity
the rotation of the planet and the seasons
when an event infects its knife in your flesh
and you look from you to yourself

you see nothing
mirrors are broken
the world is opaque
or maybe it 
only now comes to mind

in chaos you returned
waiting for...

Come Round Six We Eat At Four
