Everyday is a new day
Except Thursday the symptom always replay
Madness, mental instability, psychological disorder.
Call it what you may
It’s the same thing every Thursday

Her frienenemies taunted and teased her all day long
But on Thursday, they singing...

You don’t have to say
one spherical metallic word
I know with GSW empathy credulity
just how you feel ... I bequeath kindred sympathy
Taking one lead body blow 
for the I homeboy visiting team,
was enough mental pain timeout...

Living in dark days 
of the last generation of Noah
Evil beast animals now rule the Earth
Peaceful human beings
are perpetual moving ark targets
In constant danger from the archers’ grip,
the meek souls pray always to God
that the...

The Game Became a Tragedy
By Franklin Price
6/15/2017

A baseball game, the national sport, a congress benefit,
A hundred year tradition, they weren't about to quit.
The game became a tragedy, and soon it would appear.
A cloud was hanging...

These leopard eyes warily see
another crimson dawn
on the cold concrete Serengeti

A scarlet sun
shaped like the barrel of a gun
Dark plume of heat
triggers the survival instinct scatter

Watch the bulls-eye prey run
Where to in the confusion?
It doesn’t...

With painted face and silent smiles they light the night so dim,
Oblivious to their stalker and his diabolic whim.
They'd come to sunny Florida to flee Maine's winter snow
And play their silent pantomimes on sidewalks as...

Oh Brother of mine
I am sorry we didn't have a chance to speak again
Time is the greatest silencer of speech
you think that you have so much of it
and then it's gone.
How foolish we are to...

I didn't mind shooting him between the eyes one bit, what made 
it harder for me was how he pleaded for his life and said he had 
money and that I didn't have to do...

Listening is the most
beautiful things, I have 
ever experience in my 
entire existence.
Given unto me the 
power of silent
by the silencer.

As the blackness removes
the colors from my eyes,
my intuition and instincts 
are completely replied upon
as...

Darling?

Yes dear.

Have you ever had an unpublished thought?

What does that mean?
Is this about my profligate tendencies?
Of course
You know perfectly well I've never been published.

No, I mean
Have you ever had a thought
that included the thought
that maybe...

The crimson  sun still up
as she woefully walks
in an abandoned rustic railways;
Her feet ~ as heavy as the stale steel rails
almost buried in forgotten soil;
Her hands as cold as tombstone plate
whilst holding a gun...

If I had a gun I would have already pulled the trigger
No silencer because I've been silent my whole life
I wish suicide was as easy as a snap or whistling because I'm too sad to...

How can the absence of pigmentation separate people from the same mother
Life bribed the hell out of us, it took your only brother
And now hell we bring to those who deserve it not
And this fight...

A. W. Nutter

Fog from my breath in the way
Temporarily impeding my vision
A small lamp, illuminates my prey
Unaware, of his impending execution

Rons wife, conveniently out of town
Visiting a sick relative, her perfect alibi
She must really despise...

Days, goes, in day another days, strawberry, spirit, to honour
Ignite old tyres, that is, choke in lung, keep in the mouth your water “ I don’t know” 
Apologetic orchid, which grow up on the tree

It was a cold metal burn,
love fatal GSW
A bullet to the head,
exited my heart
Shot went straight thru
Silencer tears
pressing on the pillow, 
buried me in my sleep
Whispering to the half-dead dying:
It was business not personal
Such empty...

heaving, heaving
of the owl
heavy is his breathing

the weight of it
is leaning
upon the reddened rail

his eyes glimmering gold
opening wide
can see inside your soul

so close, so warm
so cold
he’s stealing your breath

its freezing
in midair
the owl can’t help
but be...

Love, a four letter word that has unforeseen effects

Love, take it seriously cause it can take you, seriously
Reap it...

I remember the day, when I wrote my first verse!
Writing a poem was not at all a matter of business for me,
And it wasn’t a colossal chore when my master asked me to write one;
But,...

A silencer that speaks not of itself
Waiting for the beckoning to come
It shuts its ears from speech
But listens to the heart
Where comes the enticement

You perceive it like its the enticer
You see it like it is...
