Best Ninth Poems

Candle, candle burning bright,
Blow it out, without you there is no sight.
The Moon,Moon glowing white
I see it in your face pure bright as skylight
I am a witness of this amazing thing

The smile in your eyes is....the look of Love
Little angel, oh rare piece of art
Sweet...

Of The Famed Labors Of Hercules
ninth poet, poet dedication series, Emma Lazarus

Through Time's mesmerizing and meandering paths,
Colossus of heroic worship rightly praised,
He that vented his strength and fought with half-god wrath;
Mighty Son of Zeus, his feats that this world amazed,
Carved in stone, sculptor Vincenzo de’...

Preface to this brief bitty
written snap ting snapshot – word ditty
dates back before I reached gritty
age of eight and fifty, aye recall a kitty
rescued by my youngest sister, who took pity
and felt aghast, 
at a potential cruel fate no witty.

Upon return home from an Antioch...

‘did you hear it’, he asks me in a dream.


‘I haven’t stopped listening’, I say.


‘I wish I could hear it, just once’, he says with a pained smile.


‘the Ode to Joy moves me to tears’, I say.


‘I wish I could hear my sobs’, says Ludwig...

Daddy left Mommy, when I was two
She really didn't know what to do
Four little children under the age of six
Was a situation, she just could not fix

Christmas was coming, she didn't have a dime
The bills were piling up at the same time
She tried to focus...

If it were only me, I will be doing anyhow
Nobody would have been there to challenge me now

Now I look back into the face of the future,
What I see, golden grains, people of peasant pictures;

Red roses rooted in the soils of 29th August,
Some still sailing...

Bottom of the ninth and we’re down    
by two, let’s just see what our team  can do.

Here we go ladies and gentlemen,

Two outs
Bottom of the ninth
Two balls
Two strikes
Wendy up at bat
Coy and demure
Peter on the mound
Anxious and determined
Stares down the batter
Looking for a sign
Wendy winks  
Peter winds up 
A slider down the middle...

My father is now pitching the bottom of the ninth inning.
We need a few more tests to determine just how many outs he has left.
I had the opportunity this past weekend to visit him on the mound and ask him how 
he was feeling.

How can tomorrow come if yesterday never dies
The only future I vision, is always tied to the past
All this happened for a reason is one of many lies

That may sound crazy, but I know what it implies
There's no reason in this, opportunities were vast
How can...

duskfall creature,
tipsy on the blood of the covenant,
tell me, when did you pull the ninth card?
when your fangs grew in
and your eyes grew tired,
what made you build the castle walls?

the sunlight burns, you protest,
every silver-backed mirror a reminder to forget.
close the books, put down your...

November Ninth the President
By Franklin Price
11/9/2016

November ninth the president elect is thought to be:
Donald Trump with outside chance will get the victory.
It's nip and tuck and hardly fought; the vote count is not done.
There are states that are so close still hard to tell who...

Liar
Oh yes
Oh yes, liar they'd call me
If they could see my thoughts

Broken dreams, they manifest
Desire to control the rest
Your little liar controls the way you move

Inches over the line
That separates sane from not
Inches over the line
That keeps you safe

Oh yes
Nothing's turning out the way I...
