My mother's name was Seraphine
A sadder child was never seen 
Her duty was to serve the table
Of newly widowed Mrs. Grable

Her husband Mr. Grable died
To keep the British gratified
For which the lady, born and bred
Was...

Poetic paean to papa's princess

Otherwise titled:
Mien wonderful wedded divine wife....,

whose piercing deliverance,
a balm ameliorating tattooed strife
despite being dirt poor,
(especially after dirty deeds done... 
generating thunderstruck ac/dc current
hmm... maybe due comeuppance 
being scammed to the hilt)

With a final...

though know for controversy,
served alongside Washington
in the war to make us free.

set the stage for our economics,
the prosperity we still enjoy,
he had a lot to do with...

Uncomfortable confronting 
your continuous consumption to which you're accustomed, 
the crunch, the chew, it's all you do, 
most munch at lunch while you the whole day through, 
can't get a grip like a hug holding...

Ronald was a tough old ram, the biggest of his breed
Daniel was a clipperman, renowned of shearing deed
Many sheep were sheared that day and woolless they had fled
Before those two met in affray and battled...

Otherwise titled:
Mien wonderful wedded divine wife

a balm ameliorating tattooed strife
despite being dirt poor,

I cherish her pricelessness, how nice,
a beacon complementing/

To my dear daughter...
I loved you, in your sweet Mary Janes.
In all our travels that were fine and plane.

You cannot remember how I pulled your hair.
Those braids,so tangled yet shiny and brunette fair.

You won’t have...

Out in small town Texas, a handshake is a deal.
Folks go to church on Sunday, say grace at every meal.

Boys can't wait to join the Corps,...

A diminutive girl, born in a colossal world.
Originate as a weed, no one like to plant this seed.

Sports Day at the primary school
The kids were 7 and 9
They’d been at the school for 4 or 5 years
It seemed such a very short time.

For dads there was the Blue Ribbon event
I always gave...

The epitome of greatness, a mark in history

Of discipline remarkable, a stellar victory

Defeating the unbeaten, knock and break the mould

International heavyweight of Olympic Gold

 

Strike in quick succession, opponents retreat

Delivery duration, a knockout of defeat

Tactical...

When she entered the French tea house, we all fell in line.
Everything about her was elegant, she was amazing and refined.
The embroidered frogs on her hand-designed jacket, the latest style.
She outclassed the queen of society,...

The black holes in my mind, never to be cleared
All light tried to shine, into a vacuum it disappears
Is the fate of my mind to have memories seared?
Does the emptiness hold nightmares my younger self...

I Was Home Again
By Franklin Price
10/15/2017

I was home again, been many years
Almost a couple score
From Vietnam in '69
Now thought a useless war.

We the people still divided
Can't decide our country's call
Many are the  conflicts here...

Sweeping through what once was mine
Gazing at this ravaged shrine
Composing the vitals in thoughts divine
Cut my losses and bleed through time
Here I'll stand along these lines

Chimerical dreams in the hands of Morpheus
Acidic tears that corrode...

 you were nineteen,

When I heard a guitar

Up on stage with legends,...

Your brand is what you see in the mirror, man
The reflection of your choices 
A facade moulded by the devil's hand
Shouldering those corrupted little voices 

You strayed from the path for a while
Because it would...

I see it tied up to its pier,
steel monolith, huge and grey,
the USS Massachusetts,
now a museum by the quay.

Big sixteen-inch guns are silent,
the five-inchers point to the sky,
kids play on the forty-mil guns,
shooting phantom planes...

These grassy margins under sky of blue,
so peaceful. Then a rumble, sudden blast – 
can you stand your ground as the train roars through?

Here’s Progress. Boston, all across this New
England, folks with tickets for transit...

the scurlcat is the perfect animal
it's agile, strong, and smart
it corners it's prey
and stalks until
it's opponents are tired
making them submit
to the will of the large cat
the ceiling is what they see
as they disappear into
the line...
