Long Margaritas Poems

The fairest of them all my constant love
Free in spirit and soul she beloved of soul
My soul in her presence ignites in ecstasy

Our burdens are lifted—it’s spring break, after all.

Though ocean breezes, surf sounds, the smell of sunblock,
fresh tans and bottomless margaritas at the beach can be healing,
we decided to vacation on campus and find joy in...

I brush back
Her wave of turquoise hair
She winces but doesn’t yet
Pull back
From the salt in her wounds
And the sand on her hips

From the laughing seagulls snatching
Last night’s scrap of words
Leftover
From the plates and lips
Of Sunny...

Here at our rooftop, collegiate, ‘resort of the mind,’
an early heatwave has struck - we’ve been advised.
Like we needed it. It’s 94°f and climbing - we’re not insensitive.
We’re aware that the sun is bright and...

Your Name
By Franklin Price
7/21/2018

We were in Key West a-drinkin'
Were so drunk we were not thinkin'
Was the middle of a sunny afternoon
All in the bar were smokin'
Irish Kevin was a-jokin'
You won't believe what I'll be sayin'...

It's a mid December morning, 
and it's 85 degrees.
There are no cool breezes blowing,
just some high humidity. 
Yes, I'd like to build a snowman, 
but it's hot out as can be.
Down here in South Florida,

Gypsy of the Railways

I march to a different drummer
My life it is my own
I'm an explorer of experience
That is how I'm known

I've seen snow in South Dakota
I've been on the Vegas strip
Had barbeque in Kansas

Pleeeez… stop your whining and complaining
Agreed, dog days of summer are straining

Come and sit in our air conditioned house
Remember your swimsuit...

I went to a party for lonely hearts,
With friends to celebrate singleness;
The invitation read, cake, chocolate and tarts.

We played games like charades to show our smarts,
Truth and Dare was just full of silliness;
I went to...

For I wonder, where are you dad
I go to talk to you but then...

I'm not sure dad, what do...

In the morning we were fresh and alert.
Taking an art class every Saturday
So we could go up on the teacher’s pay scale.
There were three of us. Marty, Katy and me.

We found a restaurant that we...

He had no teeth and neither did his girlfriend.
We’d sit in his apartment in the dark drinking margaritas and watch Jeopardy.
He’d answer every question correctly and his girlfriend would cackle.
He’d shoot at the mice with...

I will die intoxicated
by the poison of sweet lies
falling from your cheating lips...
ah...
how well they lie...

when they touch me whispering
and drink me slowly
stirring storms
on my warm and quiet shores, mi amor

nights turn into days
days grow...

There's something about suspenders and Rear-enders
And even if you may be running into fenders
To me and many, it might not be a big deal
But suspenders may get caught in steering wheel.

It did seem to start...

We were sitting
In your house by the beach
And you were making us drinks

I think they were strawberry margaritas
I said to you
What kind of man
Drinks strawberry margaritas?

We laughed and laughed
Til we couldn’t laugh anymore
Tears running down...

Absolut a total blackout
Baileys a trifle sweet with a big kick

Drams of spirits to up lift you
Echelon for wining and dining
Fireball wow that was hot

This Girl Just Wanna Have Fun

Saturday night’s always my special night,
and I’ll party hearty ‘till broad daylight.
Long hair and shapely hips swinging to the beat,
I’m no wallflower who’ll sit in a back corner seat.

No ball...

The first I notice in the spring are birds,
I just love their dulcet musical songs;
a symphonic chorus of sweet bird words,
in the garden the tunes cure winters wrongs. 

I love how my white daisies are...

Flip flops slip off slowly 
My barefoot touches the warm sand
Cold waves crash against my body
I feel the hot sun on my legs
Smell of salt water is in the air
The ocean breeze lightly blows through...

The First Methodist Church,
with its bold wooden steeple,
burnt to the ground in 1914,
for preaching prohibition.
The good folks of Sebastopol
weren’t having any of that.
Today the Apple Blossom
Parade marches past
the rebuilt church, past
the Masonic Temple, past
Martha’s Mexican...

Cinderella doesn't need
to be a glorified housekeeper
dealing with  the summer blues
only her very own shack on the beach
selling pina coladas and margaritas

Cinderella doesn't need
a fairy godmother
only a magical starfish
to grant all of her wishes...
