Best Scrounged Poems

ZAP

POW

Intrinsic

Inside news beyond
Hopes dashed
No pieces left
For times elbow
Holds no crutch

Singularity

ZIP

BAM

Congruent

Feelings enmeshed
Scrounged within
The numbness subsides
Leaving delight
Past the darkest night

Pulsar

WACK

TING

Livid

Singed to the bone
Being lost
Without deaths glow
But hope rings in
Triumphant score

Dynamic

WHAM

BANG

Persevere 

Life beyond emptiness
Lures in mindful eyes
Sipping from the eternal cup
Homing into happiness
Leaving pain behind

Enlightened

YING

TAP TAP TAP…

With a ragged bag and a sack, I am leaving you to chase a dream…
Dry your tears, my dear; no more wail. No more songs of grief,
No more tired bones and tired soul. Just dry your tears.
How mother died awhile ago and father stayed, and...

Once the Sinis floppers' nerves acted up in bunches, 
Scandinavians had no way to head off sucker punches.
Sacks of scamming slapstick, slap bass,
and farcefest, thick and fast, came to pass.
Not a clod of sunstruck dung by a donkey's ass 
shines half as dazzlingly as these...

The trolls went on vacation last week, they were tired of so much sun.
They went north for a touch of snow, you know, to have a little fun.
Now here we sat, all by ourselves, without a thing, we need to do.
No Trolls for laughter, the...

The Match-Stick
The patent potential of a match-stick
I saw seething ravagely through the farmland
Crawling conflagration all alike
Beholding the hapless and helpless mind

The power of a match-stick
I knew well when in dire need
Picking up the match-box in shock
Not a single stick could find

Oh the raw rice raucously...

We scrounged up
Every penny we could
The night the policemen took you.
We had thirteen dollars
For your five hundred dollar bail....

We owe it to our doctors 
 


We owe it to our doctors… 
The ones who took it to be part of Sun Pharma’s greater mission;
 
To prevent disease rather cure
Cure and control if that happens at all; 
Defying comforts of air conditioned hospitals,
confronting heats and chills
of seasonal tones...

IN the desert with Stokker. 
 
We stayed five days with no food at all or water mabe some eye scrounged along 
the roadside there is almost no containers this far out on the reservation. The 
stokker almost lost it but he made...

Average intelligence is difficult to know
with running buffoons thinking they are more
in tight skinned pants.  The sole lagger
in basketball shorts is trying to keep up with them,
the wind pushing behind them while pounding him hard in front.
They do not understand his plight, they have...

The Bandits Rendezvous
By Franklin Price
9/1/2019

Once upon, a Far East time, in nineteen sixty eight
The GEEIA squad made history on a non-remembered date
The plan had come together to build a club house new
When it was completed, was named, “The Bandits Rendezvous”

All the parts, to build it,...

mom loved her china.
her collection grew by the year
and time upon time
i found myself looking upon it.

now there was bare wall
where the proud plates once hung
and an almost-fog covered my vision
as i felt cool air on my cheeks.

quiet sobs drifted through the house
and sirens wailed
the...

Dark were my days when I hunkered down
in my bunker behind the shades
Dim are my memories in my racing mind
to where happiness slowly fades
Dull were my senses in my apartment cocoon
were I scrounged for something to eat
Dank was the air as I seldom washed the...

asking me why do you ask me that he had a pack of bedrolled up and dissed me 
eye saw a starving artiste showing a lady off his work she asked him...
