just turned 23 and, additionally and 
quite evidently...

Tears for a Mother
Fears for a Father gone
Fate deals an unfair hand
The door to youthful joy closing
on adolescent shoulders imposing
grown up responsibilities instead

Eyes sadly deprived 
See not the panorama
of pursuing cloud shapes
that conceal a frivolous...

From years of solving, I'd grown adept, as green river, that knows...

By Franklin Price

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,...

And was thrust into flimsy dating realms; 
She grabbed pen and paper to describe
Top-choice dude of her fanciest dreams. 

Dashingly handsome and of complexion nice,
And gallant gait akin to quaint...

"Beyond the Poetry"

Grew up on country roads that were dusty
And bumpy
When I was a dummy
My life was crummy
Experienced it first hand, didn't just study
Life's a trip and at times rather funny
But it also got rather...

as His benevolence showers with relentless love.
The cornucopia of His blessings overflows,
while the ambit of divine ambiance grows
within the sanctum of soul where ecstasy glows.

Fears that haunt us...

I have
no tears in my eyes,
no sorrow in my sighting,
no faded mood in my face

Freedom to display one’s unwashed teeth
Exhibiting the whole thirty-two,
Even as others with anger seethe 
And the keenest insults on one rain, too.

Before it’s public discovery
Or befriending some consoling circus
And waiting for...

I'M joyous!

Completely clear 
Clearing the air with happiness
Happiness is delicious

There are no underhanded deals.
I've come of age.

At the darkest hour of night
Before night shadows
Steal across the wall of darkness
Into the welcoming hands of dawn;
As with defecting soldiers
At Korea's demilitarized zone
With my spoke,
I stoked the fire
Sending it's glamorous flame
Spiraling, hissing, revolving and...

Lissome, silhouette shadow
Gliding the long winding stairs
Iridescent gown changing glows
Flowing, silky bright black hair

Breezy, damp cold but warms
Fresh, sweet fragrant perfumes
Lingering aura full of charms
Scent of a flower in bloom

Head with jeweled, ornate crown
Standing firmly...

Just ahead down the road a way
Queen Anne rides her florid carriage 
tossing lacy garments out the window 
frilly-white landing by the roadside

The carriage of course is pulled by mares
clicking their hooves like they were...

I’m stunned to see my days glowing with 
The sun’s ray’s
I draw closer to pick my Bible which lies underneath
My pillow
I read copiously from the scriptures
And pray...

When I see people with dull contentment
Lulled by pathetic and placid satisfaction
Forget to fight the wrongs heaped on them
I feel very much agitated and uncomfortable.	

When I see people making merry with glee
Immersed in their own...

An un-fairie queene
from an unchivalrous tale
lumping and clumping
off beaten tracks
down beaten ones
so beaten
that they click and crack
criss-crossed with crabgrass
so tall that it looks
like some fiendish crag
it crassly sticks to soles
and copiously 
feasts on clothes
not only...

Life, in the cruelty of morning light,
Is a strand of copper blond hair
With auburn roots, asleep on a pillow.

Are you waiting for the snail mail
To bring you the implant
That will explode in your head?

Or will...

My Santa sack was filled with poop
