Best Rumors Poems

Round and round the rumors go
As rumors often do
And each one adds a juicy bit
Of gossip about you

Reputations crumble down
And evil ones rejoice,
but I am  lead to stop and think:
Is there a better choice?

When innuendos fly around
Do you take time to say?
“No need to...

I've heard rumors of unicorns
Seen only by the faithful sworn
Rising in glories you foretold
From valleys where oceans are born

You spoke of passages in gold
To take, if my vision was bold
Enough to follow where you led
Unquestioning, into the cold

I fell for promises unsaid
Surrendered to you every...

Slushbo was called Pinkie back in the “day”
Boys who dated her said “hip, hip hooray!”
She was daring and dashing, and did many great things.
But never was offered a pretty diamond ring.

That’s okay, she said, when I am old I shall live with cats.
She had the...

Echoed in the embrace of autumn’s wind,
Gentling whispers, sighing 
Breathing prayers who consume guarded
Flames from yesterday’s shadows

Considered by the trembling branches,
Tugging against the gusts,
Laughing into the twisted leaves, dancing
Swirling caresses of soft amber, 
Succulent tangerine and delicious scarlet,
Coils of maples, buttery gold
Spinning verdures, rich like...

The ugly old tomcat was feral
Rumors abound that he’s sterile
But when the moon’s high
All the hot kitties sigh
Tease that old boy at your peril

Always destroyed
Foolish rumors quickly
Because problems never visit
Softly...

Rumors
How we arrived at where we are
By Franklin Price

By now you've heard the rumors
How Covid-19 came to Earth
How it did not come here naturally 
How Wuhan, China gave it birth

Maybe aided by our government
To make us stay in place
And take away the elderly
If so, it's...

Malfeasant, mangled, memories
ruthless, regretful, remedies.
Vanishing, victoriously in vain,
Whispering, wandering wane.

Brazenly, broken, betrayal.
Pompous, patriotic portrayal.
Diminishing, disabled I dive,
Astronomically, ailing alive.

Teetering, tenaciously taunt,
hallucinations, honorably haunt.
Painfully, preserving, its past,
Callously, crafting the cast.

Traumatically, teasing truths,
Yearning, yesterday’s youths. 
Selfishly, stealing, thy soul,
Craving, courageous control.

Immobile, insufferably idle,
Suffering senses, suicidal.
Admiring, ancestors adore.

Rumors of spirituality, rumors of knowledge,
kings and queens of the past rumored it wisdom.
Rumors very existence hails patronage,
providing comfort through a baby’s thumb.

As time engulfs solidifying thoughts,
traveling faster than the speed of light.
A spiritual transference of Pandora’s box,
opening it’s insatiable appetite.

We assist mistakes......

wandering how rumors are told 
side by side corner by corner and there it goes 
Over and over till everyone knows
where your story be their lives
Even if it was full of lies 
With the dirty looks...

Markle for President, I heard today
She's got sterling credentials, I must say
   Correct gender and race
   A self-promotion ace
Only thing 'left' now ~ to come out as gay...

I heard there were horns on an Iowan fox.
This went around the circle of kids wearing socks.
In front of a time piece that had out of sync tocks.
The circle was strange, most nurses wore crocks.

The gossip went haywire, ending down at the docks.
Bass fisherman parked...

He said she said we did and they were.
My brain has shut down.
Slammed shut with a banging sound.
Clang!

I am sure this is fascinating talk for the
townies who have lived in this small town
forever and also share stories of he, she, we,
they, said, did, and whatever….

For...

Two black soul brothers
Standing on the corner
In front of Metro center
On a Friday night

In the heart of the new evil empire
The center of the beast
Hell Central

Preaching the word of god
The news of the end of the world
The proverbial end times 
Were upon us and coming...
