Long Meddle Poems

I am not done yet until all of you speak the truth, I am not done yet until I obtain justice for my brutal youth, you kick me around like ball and blame me for...

The Williwonk rose from its hibernating sleep
And jumped up in joy with a sinuous leap.
Time for some mischief, he mischievously said,
I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.

For such a vile creature was the...

I remember waking up to the melodious sound of my mother singing happy birthday,
the aroma of bacon and pancakes wandering through the hall, invading my nostrils,
my sister having no regard for my annual celebration and...

YES ABOUT A DRESS

El, please come shopping with me today,
He knew she would ask him anyway,
Sure Honey, he immediately lit
A cigarette, we’ll leave in a bit!
Shopping with Jen wasn’t too much fun,
She was fussy, and...

I defy the clown that is chasing everyone around
I defy the clown that is closing everything down
I defy the clown and became the biggest talk of the miserable town
Hoary women gathered around looking at me...

At the stroke of  the pen you could suddenly drop dead. 
At the stroke of the pen billions could be spilling all...

The Prince grinned at my revelation,
He let go of my hands turning to the walls of the well
He heaved in a deep breath and laughed, 
Turning again to me,
With incredulous chuckles
“Ah, yes your God has...

Razor sharp tongues unleashed 
Lashing out viciously to openly 
legitimise bigotry 
then suddenly taking offense 
when queried 
releasing long concealed weapons
the deep desire to "remodel Africans"
No intentions of acceptance in sight 
Spitting out venom faster...

I.
It was in 1554
that young Liesel watched her little nice die,
a fever had swept through Bavaria,
and from her tiny frame all life did fly.

She wasn’t the first, many died that year,
but at the funeral for...

GOING GREEN

The colour that evokes so much reverence today 
Is the standard for those whose actions
Out value their words 

To be conscious of the harm of surviving
Is to some an aware and care philosophy
The new...

My son, you are a victorious man when… 

God’s leadership over your life is your utmost desire
Every time you wake up, till when at night, you retire
Though others mock your aim with insulting satire.

God’s mercy...

I might seem cold and beyond your 
reach 
Far from your love
Distant and aloof
Guarded by walls
To strong to shatter
Stubborn and contained
No deeper you may go, no further 
can you prevail

A sinister shadow
My mind paints
Of love,...

Should have never made that loud of a sound
But when you see your shadow as darkness
And dropping your...

I ask myself ‘Where am I?’ 
My soul answers not, but gives a sigh
Looking at me, confused and lost
Was my old self I loved the most
Looking at me, with tears in eyes 
Says my mind...

Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm

Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm
Should turning back in vengeance be the Dead Man’s qualm
Though even as the end nears...

The drum is sounding
From Queens in New York
Stretching to the horns of America
And the horns of Africa
Hear them applause
They call it the Trump drum of triumph
I sat on my chair of reeds
And looked towards north...

Seems I’ve reminisced 
The feel
Of a home cooked meal
Ducking the pleasures 
Of a sainted veil 
A clause in the end
From which finer things appeal
Black jack matches not
To a fisher mans luck
On an antique reel
But on...

Dear child,
Do you see the lady in the red dress?
She has eyes like diamonds
Crystal clear, sharp, blue and shining.
And a smile that could
Stop your heart cold
And then, in a moment, bring it back to life,
She...

December Seventh and the U.S.A.
By Franklin Price
12/07/2021

December seventh, forty-one
A day that lives in infamy
Had it not happened, as it did,
Where in the world, would we now be?

Was only four score years ago
We could no longer...

Awards and Recognition

They patted selves on their very own back;
They do have all things which we will lack;
Am so sore,
We are poor,
Live in towers while we survive in a shack.

Many things medals and awards are...
