Ins Poems - Poems about Ins

Breath in, breath out the tide ebbs in, and surges out, flows and pauses. Swings and seesaws rock, bounce and rebound, up and down, in tick-tock metronome time. Memories tug, get hugged, then unclasp, withdraw and let go to fade. Dreams materialize, then dissolve. Laughter spits, splits, spills, gushes out, echoes then wanes to abstain in a chuckle. Hope flits and...

"The Slip-ins" Why should I continue to write these feathery songs, these blanched banjo tomes, these wilting poésies of a lost little life ever circling like a memory stone thrown across a lake of discontent into the bottom of a dark pond where the sulphar trolls with their attached pilot fish of no kingdom come spin their spindly venomous and childish reasons along...

There is no appointment necessary, you are free to saunter right in; Just be sure to read the sign on the door, mind the subterfuge of fine print; Results are built out of high maintenance, don’t mistake turnkey for easy; It takes alot of effort to stay clean, our clients reap the benefits; Be mentally prepared to do the work, you will cross...

High School Memories (Two Drive-ins) By Franklin Price 09/08/2024 It matters not how old we are Or who we have become We won't forget the friends we had In the high school that we're from Though many years have passed us by When looking back, it's not that far With sixteen candles on the cake Old enough to drive a car I got my driver's license Got...

This fashion is in, that one is out narrow waists with baggy knees Wide lapels and razor-thin ties Who knows what will be Slicked-back ducktails top off muscle t-shirts hoping to attract coy smiles from a skirt My...

This is what life’s all about: We barrel in and totter out. Along the way, we smile or pout And try our best to conquer doubt. We may be rebels or devout, Remain unnoticed or have clout, Yet we survive, in flood or drought, Our whispers rising to a shout As we fight in our final bout; Then, like a candle, fizzle out....

Friday Night Check-ins The days have been calm and collected. The guests have been happy, content. The weekday staff scurry out from the hotel To avoid the upcoming event. Weekend receptionists tremble As the Friday night check-ins approach, Fearing the tsunami of wrinklies On their three-day excursions-by-coach. The first vehicle’s brakes squeal their warning As its door opens up with a sigh. The girl at the...

Ran into an old friend just the other day. Has to have been 50 years another way. She made that big mistake of asking what I've been up to. Well, I've been studying systematic multicultural theology and, then, regenerative ecology. Oh, that sounds nice. Probably keeps you out of trouble. Yes, well, I guess it is nice, but not trouble-free. Another word might be "athletic." Like soccer? More like gymnastics and long distance...

Is the passion of loins or the merging of mind More significant role found in Love if Love's real? And does sex make its bed (a sad urge to survive In some way when you die), more desires its genes thrive Than it cares who gets screwed? Is this Love or a deal? Does the Bible not say, "Love is...

four vignettes on silence I Muteness broadcasted hush-hush flaunted just like a coverall, silence is a blanket on human telepathy and intent. II It's simple, actions speak as loudly as words. Silent treatment can be an autumn breeze, granting space cooling tempers. III Sulkiness can be likened to green gall, blatant brooding and withdrawal characterized as yellow cowardice, Passive aggressive behavior exposed. IV Cats, life-long friends, co-workers all employ loving acts, yet silence... licking, ankle rubs eye winks,...
