Best Poetic License Poems

Sometimes when I write, I tend to stretch the truth.
Same as when I gossip; I've done that since my youth.
It's not so much deliberate, but to tell a story well,
Folks tend to stray from tedious facts to magnify the tale.

This habit's often utilized a bit,...

So, what would you have me write?
Dulcet words of limply lurid metaphor
stuttering staccato of acceptable alliteration
preposterously impersonal personification
drab and dreary diluted imagery
innocently innocuous innuendo
insouciantly inane sonnets
neutered non-rapier wit
squishy, soft white bread limericks
fettered faint hearted free verse
sanctimoniously soft spoken rants
devoid of do’s and don’ts, can’s and...

Poetic License

Pure Frustration
If I could not
Kiss you with my sonnets
Explain you symbolically
Or say  “I love you”
In metaphorical ambiguities

Like Braille, I’ve felt tipped over you
With my flair
For words

My paper is kodachrome canvas
And in a split second thought
I’ve blown up a verbose
Enlargement of your essence

Blessed am...

Lately folks been asking bout
This license that I got
That lets me wax poetic
And I do wax a lot
It’s given out to writers
Who write other than prose
Like limericks and Cherihews
And rhyming things like those
Who don’t care if a particle
Is dangling or not
Or if a subject follows...

What makes a story a poem
A paragraph a verse
I trust I'll find the answer
Before I'm in my hearse

But if you are the man, Sir
Who can provide the answer
Tell me when it happened
That a verse became a stanza

But if you are a poet
Then you will surely...

year, most of the keepers have been kept 
with the biggest ones caught, stuffed and hung
on the walls of tumbledown fishing lodges.
Although there are rumors, that the big one

Poetic License

Say what you like.
Without truth, full of spice.
Imagine, exaggerate and wish.
Not my dish.

Poetry comes from the heart.
It's true and says your part.
In all you say and do.
It is you.

Tell your story.
Make your mark.
Write it down.
In blood and tears.
Share your troubles and fears.

No place for...

A poet in search of his muse
Tried to find her by choosing to booze;
Far from what he desired
The poor fellow expired--
So be careful which boozing you choose!

Poetic License
By Franklin Price
4/1/2015

I have poetic license
To write about all things
Beautiful or ugly
Sane or ding-a-ling

Family and friends
And what I've seen around
Politics Religion
All existing sky and ground

 I tell it as I see it
Report it as my news
To be accepted or rejected
While expressing my own views

I'm...

My poetic license became revoked on Doomsday 
An afternoon or dawn if I remember in December
The government won't help the situation much
They expired two days before the end came about
On marble floors and flat tires on the roads
While opioids spilled out on country highways
Remapped exactly...
