A one is tired, a...

Children's Poems IXThe Tapestry of Leaves
Michael R. Burch
Leaves unfold
as life is sold
or bartered, for a moment in the sun.
The interchange
of lives is strange:

For Heavens SakeFantasies glisten. Wealth untold.
Dimly clear; seen near and afar.
Wee men; chase around pots of gold.
Missed heaven. Prospecting a star.
She wishes; he’d only listen.
When lovers drift. They drift bizarre.
Act out; miscue the rendition.
Missed heaven. Prospecting a...

These Hallowed FieldsThe crack of the bat,
The roar of the crowd,
The smell of the earth,
In these hallowed fields.
The taste of the hotdog,
The sun in my face,
The warm gentle breeze,
In these hallowed fields.
The windup of the pitcher,
The call...

Lou Gehrig's easeWe've heard of ALS
as "Lou Gehrig's disease"
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
a cause to pray on our knees
But Lou Gehrig felt he was
"the luckiest man on earth"*
the Yankees, and his wife
the main reasons for mirth
Thankful for his life

He Can Do ItI can do it, I swear...I can do it
I'm going to hit a home run.

BilocationIn the tapestry of divine embrace,
Aspect of God, woven with grace.
Indivisible from the cosmic whole,
A presence ensouls, a sacred soul.
Feeble form, ordained to unfold,
On earthly stage, a story told.
Not merely actors in life's grand trance,
Bilocating...

ImaginationIn the realm of dreams, where echoes dance,
"Imagination" takes its chance.
Sparkling realms and cosmic hues,
A kaleidoscope of fanciful views.
I soar on whispers of fantasy's breeze,
Through moonlit seas and enchanted trees.
In my mind's embrace, the mundane...

Cut The Carbs
I cut some carbs
From the home team
They were dead weight
If you know what I mean
They took their at bats
But were never a hit
Since they turned fat
And slowed me a bit
Yet it wasn’t easy
Shedding the weight
Of...
