Best Towers Poems

III

But, of course, I had no dizzying towers                  
To burn...only bridges; and they were torched            
Years ago...

A toddler builds a tower
Then he knocks it down with glee
And every time the fun’s the same;
That is a guarantee.

This type of play’s preparing him
For what he’ll face in life – 
The highs and lows, the joy and pain,
The beauty and the strife.

The trick is...

Twin Towers Fell
By Franklin Price
9/11/2018

Twin towers fell, a living hell
The day was apropos
Was a nine-one-one emergency
Setting the future we now know

The years, now seventeen, have passed
From that day, two-thousand-one
We've yet to see the ending
Of what that terror had begun

Although the action felt like war
No country...

TALL TOWERS AND DEEP WELLS

My love, come and feast on my two round mountains
whose perky tops are as dark as red roses,	
and that are as soft and round as marshmellows.
They stand tall and erect as a giant tower.
Thy pleasurable tongue may be plunged into this...

The towers are gone but the ash and blood still whirl around...
Gone but not forgotten.. 
our mantra...
our pacifier
our breath for the next war.

They want to build a mosque in the shadow of our horror.
They say its innocent-a friendly gesture- good intent.
A brick-and-mortar center for religion-...

Touching my hand was a wet doggy.
Whatever my fate was going to be,
My dog, my hero would be with me,
If he was in terror it did not show,
I was the weak one that I know.
With agile body and eyes that could see
He swiftly, surely guided...

Monotonous keyboards clicking
Redundant clocks ticking
Phones ringing, elevator doors swinging
Coffee pots brewing, vending machines spewing
Insouciant workers, carefree shirkers loitering
Clerks, secretaries previewing, managers reviewing
Visitors on stairs, in lobby chairs, lines queuing
Fate's dissonant chords o'er content hordes teeming
From Crescent's waning moon, spell of doom flinging
Across availing sky, a...

He rode in on a  promise that built a frail
being a King to the North he tried
all kingdoms of heaven he did mount
to find the maidens hand which he knew

All kingdoms heard the wolfs yell
at the end of the long winter they did fall

Twin towers
I feel their pain
They know my name
I've taken a swan dive
Off the conservatory
A hundered times
But, I never die
The Towers are my only friends
And I love them

And when the towers crumbled
To the ground
Tears fell
But, I remained
Because they are my identity
To which I must be true
There's...

Come out of your ivory tower o maiden
And take a firm step on the ground
Feel the earth beneath your feet 
Find strength in your steps
A newness of life can be found

Sheltered and cocooned for too many years
Have left your senses dulled
The mind-numbing repetitiveness of your...

The whole world watched
As they fell to the ground
A multitude was lost
Only a few were found

An unseen evil
Came from the sky
Innocence, the target
We're left asking why

Mothers and Fathers
Sisters and Brothers
All lost their lives
And so many others

He came from the east
With death in his heart
He thought...

Little Max to Alton towers did go,
He went with his granddad, who some trains did want to show.

He loves his trains does Maxy, his excitement was mounting fast
Until he went on the “Runaway Train” then even his granddad was aghast.

The train set off WOO, WOO...
