Long Gizzards Poems

In most of my verse, my simple aim
is just sorta to enter tame.
Then, once inside ~
go completely hog wild ~
showing no reserve,
showing absolutely no shame.

For example:

"What do you think of my pup?",
I asked a cop...

The cat had travelled straight from hell, a hell beyond the stars
The cat that theories claim once levied genocide on Mars
She now seeks vengeance on descendants of the primal shrew
Whoever knew that...

The Highways and the Byways
By Franklin Price

(Inspired by Nancy McIntyre Stepp)

 The highways and the byways
Of this life in which we've grown
Bring back many memories
Of  places we have known

Havoc is when all hell is loose,
This night belongs to all of you...
 
To the pumpkins slashed into lanterns
“Stingy Jack” his trusty O’ hand returns.

Ne'er-do-wells started carving crude faces,
whose gutted innards a candle replaces. ...

By Elton Camp

Jesus came to this town one month ago.
At first he found the going rather slow.

-Once upon a time-

In the faraway cloud
Where listening lies,
Where river smiles,
When words speak
And meant to be,
Where wants and needs
Aren’t misconstrue,
Where lizards and gizzards
Wet, calm, hunt and meet and prey.
Tis by this extreme realm
That this goal...

Here's another Hillbilly story
About how we come together
To have our family reunions
Providing, we have good weather

Like possum feet and pickled newt
And gizzards, that's freshly...

 Our time approaches thick and fast.

 We shall have these children and on their hearts we will feast.

GRANDMA’S KITCHEN

In her kitchen here,
Grandma’s welcoming cheer,
Embracing kids of kith-n-kin
And engaging with tasty treats pleasing,
From the mixing basin of pudding makings,
With licks of spoon and bowl of creation,
And from the cubby-hole above the stove,
From grandma’s...

In sweat caged fury everything scarey
Shaded pine in derision chasing...

It’s good to make friends
Good friendship even to the dead ends
Friendship setting brother hood trends
No fake faces, No framed smiles
Just joy, harmony and peace piles.
Be brother’s keeper like a beekeeper.

Don’t go near the smoke house,
For Soap Sally lives in there,
She will sneak up from behind you,
And grab you without a care.

Then tie you up,
String you from the rafters,
Then slowly stir her lye,
Waiting for just...
