Long Stumping Poems

Life is not cricket: though a game of cricket reflects life 
It portrays real-life conditions; from cradle to urn 
Starting with toss of a coin; ends in pulling bails off
Just as cricket life is simply...

Growing up I was never the favorite
Never the good kid
Never given a chance
 
My outbursts were shut down
I was told to
Sit down
Shut up
Keep it together
 
My parents struggled to keep me in school
They never had...

Far into tomorrow
Comes a time of great sorrow
The wickedness of mankind's ways
Brings on the end of days
Leaders pretend to be leading
With the lies they are feeding
Grows a bad seed 
It starts to breed
Let us see...

October is Dancing 
she is a trap of joy for a mark
to those tunes tapping on line
stepping out in her black
before the white for a remark
for the dance shoes redefine
the effect of all the months...

I came home one evening whistling a lullaby 
when I saw the first ghost ever:
a pirate with a patched eye;
I quickly ran from him with a pounding heart!

He must have returned and look for me,
anytime...

i'm afraid we might be making
funerals of our our life's moon
asking the night's darkness to become our medium of sight
ask me— who sees this emptiness that the eyes speak of
ask the saints of hell who...

Tibetan monks share legend-colored reports
     Taking wide-eyed listeners from valley floors

To peaks in the sentinel Himalayas
     So how could such holy men’s tales betray us

Close to election time, we have the chance
to hear the candidates for office speak,
or “stump,” in nearby towns, to give their stance
on issues and improvements that they seek,
to promise they will strengthen all that’s weak.

Taking wide-eyed listeners from a valley floor

A dark, furry creature’s outline has been seen
Startling climbers on mountains so...

They had moved in last May,
they were a weird couple from LA, 
Mary the dancer and Jerry the singer...
cabaret music was a delight to their ear.


We met in the elevator around two,
and I welcomed them...

Prayers descend like acid rain from 
oligarch-soaked manchurians, stumping 
for elected office, praising hybrid 
demigods, passing out vouchers to the 
peasants.

A slow rumbling-
 part of the night-sounds-of-curfew;
descends like fire ants.

Cleaners of the guilt, hidden in...

We the People Have Been Jaded
By Franklin Price
10/24/2015

We the people have been jaded
By the current happenings
Though the Constitution says it
We are not in charge of things

Takes millions of dollars
To try to even run
If you cannot...

Bringing out the Yule's feeling
when past memories restore the Seasons' glow
and surrender to our yearning,  
then we should lay back and gently let them flow!


The red stockings, longer than a foot, hung on the...

Hearty Island Vacation
Hurray, hurray, step on the gas
family summer break jumps today!
We started out late, Jessica kept stumping "whining"
we stopped by the horse corral, he was neighing.
We’re going now, through dusty desert and long lonely...

Political Chicanery
By Franklin Price
8/20/1015

Political chicanery
Are spoken words I say
Slightly bending of the truth
Is the politician's way

If uttered words can scrambled be
To turn the meaning 'round
I think I can quite manage
To pound them in the ground

Excuse...

Not bothering with his shrew
Chewing, slurping, lip smacking
He takes a deep breath
Chewing, slurping, lip smacking
She was grinning, happy as a kangaroo
She chews, “chump, chump, and chump”
Irritated like a shrew
He drew a deep breath
Pop, goes the...

Electoral mortification
The ego of one man
chaotically divided a nation.
Hypnotically humiliated 
and brought its people into dissolute hatred,
plucking each other limits.
Dehumanized the intelligence of great minds.
This team of trumpers!
imperious loud mouths, 
puissant leaches stumping on others,
with...

were the windows are
up from her hot breath

Who believes in
zombies,
the ugliest
creatures
someone invented
to spread fear?
There are human
beings who actually are!
See them walk 
through dark alleys
and quite streets,
stumping on
sidewalks,
staring people in
the eye like a
walking dead!
Who made up the word, 
" Zombie " ?
A writer...

We live in a world where sickness abounds,
Sometimes stumping the best of providers. 
Symptoms and tests almost always expound, 
While the emotional costs grow wider. 

The travel and care and expenses we bare,
In dollars and...
