Poems from Toni Franken
You think the world revolves around you,
as most college professors do.
Really?
Hell, I have a lot more things on my mind than your class...
I am the one who fought for you
Because it’s what you asked.
I am the one who would have died for you
If to me that is what you tasked.
I...
You ask me why I write,
Why over blank paper my pencil takes flight.
Why words so fluid do flow,
And my feelings seem to show,
In words of...
Unconditional Love.
The rumbling purr
Or the wagging tail
Of that family member always there to greet you.
The gentle nudge of a little...
Under the starlit sky I walk.
Quiet.
Alone.
But truly alone, am I?
Not really.
Everything is alive.
Pulsating.
Breathing.
Living.
Too often...
