Long Shoot the breeze Poems

A thick, white smog crept through the park that night,
that one color besides black.
Occasionally, street lamps would beam around like wheels
but the lights burned strangely dim.
 
"Let's shoot the breeze, " he said. And so...

It was pretty late in September
and I was over the Billings way
I was riding fence for Freddie White
on the west end of the Rockin Bar J

Well night time can fall pretty early
come along bout that...

It's been 10 years today since you stood here with me.
Looking back now I realize I just couldn't see.
The pain and the torment you carried inside.
There was nowhere left to run and nowhere to hide.

Paula parrot is my name. I'm from the wild, but now I'm tame
A chatterbox who likes to talk! 
Have news to share? Let's take a walk!
Now tell me what's the latest scoop? 
Oh! Watch your...

Love
When it hits you like a ton of bricks
Wham!

You're down for the count
1.2.3...
You're up!

Your eyes rise to the sky
only to catch a falling star
for a split second

Whoosh!
Then  it's gone

You walk away

then you see your...

Am I not exactly what you wanted to believe in.

You move through thoughts as smoke through the air invasive and sticky sticking to the conscious a millisecond per nanosecond hovering just there just long enough...

When they draped the flag on your coffin mate 
I was dumb, dead with it-
they ought to at least give you one last chance 
to dance the dance of life-

you were the grass growing and...

Wherever they gather, on the porch or nigh a glowin' flame,
The conversation of older folks is just about the same.
Invariably, they'll discuss their aches, pains and weather,
Anytime two or more of them chance to git...

You might find it very strange, in fact some think it's quite absurd
For when I stroll around the zoo, I like to exchange a word or two
I can't deny, I wouldn't lie, I like to...

Got a DVD of the Honeymooners
And one of the Old Jack Benny Show
Watched The Quiet Man with John Wayne
Where did all the morals go
Violence and garbage all over the TV
Violence and garbage on the news...

Sixty-four Forevermore
By Franklin Price
6/4/2018

Sixty-four forevermore
This month it has been fifty-four
In cap and gown walked down the aisle
The memories still make me smile

Many together all the years
From one through twelve from milk to beers
Sometimes bad but...

I knew in the light
that shone on your lovely head,
that awoke the jewels in your eyes,
and the diamonds in your smile,

that it would never leave...
Not once more would I ever breathe
an air as sweet as...

Too many obstacles in my way
to get anything done today.

I over slept
called in sick.
Boss got ticked.
Oh well, he'll get
over it.

My head feels like
it's been hit
with a brick.

Stayed up late
to conjugate.
Seeking my soul mate.

Sweet grapes divine,
dranked...

[A poem to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Newton's discovery of gravity]

Sir Isaac Newton is my name;
I have a certain reputation,
Philosopher of great acclaim
Amongst the proud men of this nation.
With many problems I would grapple,

i got a ghostly
mostly moist handful of you
i got a mind
that's top heavy with you
it spills over with you
leaks you
I pant like a Parisian poodle for you

my baggy saggy heart

Well paint me grateful! 
So acclaimed 
my gladdened heart 
In my modest abode 
abundance dwells 
and I abound in peace 
Content to yield 
to the universe's lead
All I ever need 
readily resides in me
In this...

It sheer is nice to munch all night
and all day, too, with farmer Byron’s crew
of sheep, that is, that wander underneath 
his wide walnut grove, that’s old and true. 

Hey, baa baa Babe, don’t you...

A heart that still beats
Unsteady at best,
Longing so long...
for a chance to rest...

Shooting stars
Shoot the breeze,
Falling leaves,
Cut down trees

Shooting stars,
One magical night,
On our way home,
Well before daylight...

The night
of the moondance,
I remember it well,
Home from Montauk,
With...

Make Love Not War

I want to plant sugar-mines, 
that blow on footfall’s touch,
they slap you on the calfs and
thighs and splash chocolate 
on your crotch

then quickly I’ll plant cleavage
bombs, the things they do with 
cream!...

Remembering my Dad
Walking home in the warm breeze
Wafting memories

As if that same wind
Had blown through our vacations
Places we traveled

When I was little
And we used to go camping
Or other roadtrips

I recalled the Past
Back when it was...

In the glitzy neon dust bowl of Vegas
or the mean streets of New York,
or the cold Chicago sprawl;
wise guy kings and slam-dunk queens
hold court on leather barstool thrones,
hold sway and rule it all.

Protection racket monarchy,

Old Friends

Come, sit with me and share some idle talk,
Of cabbages and kings, of life and death.
Or else, perhaps, opining as we walk,
We could discuss some current shibboleth.
We’ll wile away the day just as we...

SHOOT THE BREEZE

Ok this is me earth
You are all the way over here
In the middle we came together
Just for a short time not forever

Is there a speeding light
Don’t push it tonight
What are you thinking
