Best Repeats Poems

I was an accomplished librarian, who took pleasure from written words,
As opera singers find their pleasure, in the halls where music is heard.

I was well matched to such absorbing work, knowing it was worthwhile,
Like stars traveling a long, long way, lending endless sparkles per mile.

I...

Love Repeats A Kiss

Lips kiss the petals of the nether world call
Flowers derive their scents from fragrances
Fills the air with wonder
Blue skies and passion in your eyes
Green grass on the soft low valley of your soul
Eyes fill with color by the warm sun glow
Flesh blossoms...

Society! A sad state of affairs.
Corporate, owned. The stores pushing their wares.
Politics, ambiguous. No truth found.
Majority vote. Yet, the loser, crowned.
Divided we stand. The land is not free.
Upward you rise if you have the money.
Our brightest kids, dreams never realized.
Educations cost just too super sized.
Classism,...

One  calm evening
on a leisure  drive  with  my  wife
along  the Inphal-Dimapur
National Highway
I remembered 
my overnight  road journeys
to Guwahati for office work,
sometimes together with  her
before retirement a decade ago.
Tedious journeys
riding through the winding hilly roads
of Manipur and Nagaland
yet...

In a land far away, in a time not so far past.
A recession came and the people were poor.
The middle class had lost everything,
The bankers and the rich owned them,
Taking their homes and letting them starve,
Interest, the signature, soul sold, bought.
Marx had come onto the...

History Repeats Itself
By Franklin Price
9/2/2017

History repeats itself, whenever we forget.
It may take a century, or maybe more, and yet,
It will most likely happen, if a person caused it then,
For humans in their nature, will try it once again.

Whether it worked then, or not, doesn't matter...

History Repeats Itself


America is the same as Britain:
Not enough good and too much bad.


I think we should actually listen to The United Nations,
If we really want peace in our time.
Do what thou wilst, for we are clearly ignorant;
To anything except The Law of Lies.


The laws...

(Mickey D's, Winter Haven FL)

Fanciest McD's you ever saw!
Life sized statues caught in motion,  
Marilyn, her skirts flying, Elvis, 
thrusting out his guitar in a musical
******, both Blues Brothers in
black suits, ties awry --a real 
Juke Box playing, not Tommy Dorsey, 
but disco: "YMCA,"...

Down in the dumps
Ducks drop in dams
Design the due in daily dots
Documentary life dreamt as a slept dog.

Do or die
Doesn't go down
Deplete or defunct
Dim fights betrayal in doo-wop
Dancing daily in dams
Daily bread, daily living.

Right as rain
Remembering the rainfall drops
Real green relaxes under the rules
The rule...

Every senario
Every page in the historical record
Every musical score in Hollywood

Every newscast
Every front page
Every new tax
Every new price increase
Every new terrorist

Every new war
Every financial market crash
Every newly prescribed drug
Every football match

Every new beat on religious fervour
Every political answer
All the problems
And their solutions
Every new contribution

Every president,...

In my early teens (late 60's)
I remember it all
began
in my mind

Dad was driving us into
downtown Minneapolis
for church I think,

up ahead, a block or so,
the bob-lights on top of
2 cop cars was twirlin'
and  speakers were loopin'
that open-sore noise

then it went silent

but what caught our eyes
was,...

Forget Not…Lest History Repeats

Victims of the Nazis Regime:
Jehovah's Witnesses and Jews.
Marched like chickens to their slaughter.
Once walked in twelve million, plus, shoes.

Social democrats and partisans, 
Gypsies and orphans did death reap.
Disabled by body or mind –
Add more feet to the deadly heap.

Communists, and trade unionists,
Soviet...

History reapets it self one more time,
Praying for those who protesters,
Wishing I was there,
Fighting for a country,
That I care,
I am happy to see brave Iranian people,
Fighting for there rights and there freedom,...

Again I feel confusion
Not knowing what you mean
I don’t know if its an ending
Or were this life begins

Not sure with what I’m feeling
I know I’m feeling lost
Can’t understand your words here
Don’t know what your words cost

One day I thought had something
Worth more than weigh of...
