Best Quandary Poems

What a quandary Dan, you find yourself in
Choosing a membership fit for a PS king
Why mull over it to see what others think?
You know you love exploring the PS link
Reading and writing poetry everyday
It seems obvious that Premium is the way
One, two or even Life...

Shall I do penance for my hasty words,
or poise myself on this quaint narrow quay
to smell the salty perfume of the sea,
on platinum ship sail so far away?

I quiver with trepidation and dread.
Forgive my horrid rashly spoken speech
before I venture this stormy voyage.
Assuage my repentant...

The dishes are done,
Kids are asleep and dreaming.
Want to watch T.V.?

Privacy at last.
The kids will not disturb us.
Want to hug and smooch?

The dishes are done.
No one will disturb us, but
She's got a headache.

Whatever I did,
It must have been bad, because
She keeps saying, "No."...

"A Charming Quandary" 

Pieces of thy heart
were fed to nourish thee
a charming quandary 
seeks the purveyor 
of all things seeking thee

inside the hungry
I Am 
sits at a table 
waiting for you 
to take your seat 

left or right
it does not matter which
the conversation 
will be...

Opening the window for a breeze… Dogs are barking!  My mind is only on me.  Relaxing…  As my story of the day unfolds, someone knocks.  Startling me, I hurry to the front door.  There stands an image of long-ago. ...

My Mind's in Such a Quandary
By Franklin Price

My mind's in such a quandary
About the U.S.A.
Of our lives and how we live them 
What we believe and is our way

Our great Statue of Liberty
That welcomes masses to our shore
Our Constitution, Bill of Rights
All of this and...

I had dreamt that all oceans were beer,
from a rowboat I’m scooping up cheer,
but similar to tea,
beer goes right through me.
I can’t urinate in the boat - OH DEAR!...

Tea kettle steam and curtseys greet queenly company.
"Quaint" dainty danishes are dazzlingly displayed
with quintessential utensils and dishes.
Stenciled place cards display exclusive names.
Respective guests, formally dressed, rest with "poise."
Facing "platinum" plates gently lie on lace doilies.
Coral lilies bloom "perfume" from a porcelain vase.
Imagination's "quay" traces Teacup...

The Quandary

Standing high on the mountain side 
I take in the first breath of morning
It seems so much more refreshing here
Maybe it is the altitude that we are at 

The aroma of my morning brew reaches my nostrils
The steam a reminder of the time of...

The xenop* is a kind of frog
That loves a sub-Saharan climate.
And though I don't like being terse,
I must cut short this froggie's verse,
'cause I've encountered the poet's curse…
With xenop,
Like orange,
There's not much to rhyme it.

*Pr: zee-nop...

Should I
break my stone thoughts
'till dust upon my skin
satisfying sack cloth sorrow
reaching as a beggar reaches stained hands
sleeping without weight or 'morrow
having crushed thoughts of you
forever gone...
Should I?...

She stands with poise nearby the old quaint quay.
Her hair, like platinum, glows in the sun.
He quivers, seeing her. It is his plea
that she’ll forgive him for the wrong he’s done.
He wishes there were penance he could do
to make her know the depth of his...

As the morning breaks, in a summer day
a bare foot boy, in blue denim overalls, 
red and white striped tee-shirt, and straw hat, 
rolls up his pantlegs up to his knees, and stands 
on the narrow river's white  quay. 
Alongside the tall rustling sedge,
where...

In quandary I stood
Like a child
Who's lost his way.

Sockets rolling,
Eyes probing,
Two beautiful roses beckon.

Rule: Thou shall take not more that one.

Rose A,
Rose B,
Both full of love and life.

Selfish mind,
Desiring both,
Impossible wish....

When u don't know what to feel, think, say
"Thy Kindom Come, Thy Will Be Done" is prayer

2
Repeat slowly, Thy Kingdom Come. Watch within
Savor: Thy will be Done. Not ours, the King's
He is a King, He has a Kingdom & Court
It has word power, to transplant...
