Bat Poems

GROWING UP ACROSS THE STREET FROM 
TIGER STADIUM HAS ITS ADVANTAGE
AND DISADVANTAGES.
BEING A YOUNGSTER 
HOT HUMID MUGGY SUMMER NIGHT.
DETROIT MICHIGAN.
JULY NINETEEN HUNDRED AND 73
WOULD TURN OUT TO BE A VERY
COLD
NIGHT.
IN THE MOST UNTHINKABLE WAY.
RUNNING AROUND TIGER STADIUM
3 HOURS BEFORE THE...Read More

Max is five and bossy beyond compare.
Stand there, he orders me. 
No. There!  Right there!
I am his grandma, so I comply.

He gets to be the batter as usual.
I am the pitcher and the outfield. No surprise.
Every time he misses...Read More

GRAN’S LAST MESSAGE

Seems smelly old Gran wrote a note before she died the second time, it was found on her when the army picked up all the dead Zombies up off our street, it reads as follows:

Contaminated on the news of a bat,
or is it just a distraction?
Really are we even looking at facts?
Opposition controlling the images we see
never wanting us focused on changing history;
Awake as we scroll by in a daze 
virus on our phone...Read More

When we were single, what was it they said?
That 'opposites attract', something like that.
But being young in love - we charged ahead
and learned just what they meant right off the bat.
You liked your bacon crisp; I liked mine soft.

You walked in woods with gun.
Oh! must be a great fun; yes it
was, but tiger came; quit
no, I couldn't; I freeze; It stared at
me. You should've fired; that
is right; but I couldn't; gat fell down
It acted fast, no frown.
As it...Read More

Fancy woman in a pink sequined hat
With a feathered boa fluffy and fat,
Putting on the ritz
For a guy named Fritz
Who made money with a ball and bat

On a back porch the feline sat
watching a busy sewer rat
while overhead a flying bat
diplomat of their habitat
observing preying pussycat
had to get even tit-for-tat
squealing he warned that sewer rat
it took off like a scared bobcat!

Welcome to the f*** it bucket 
With digital pigs 
Slopping thru the binary trough 
Choking it all down with a cough
Yum yum yum 
How boring and glum 
Safe and easy to be dumb 
Can’t be mad If you don’t know...Read More

Was it a bat?  
Poor Richard missed the mark again
Knowing less that good old Peter Finn

Who is counting?
Maybe another sunset passes before
A gentleman glows anew with pride

Masterfully a gentile spaced his words for maximum intensity.
A younger man can only...Read More

Bout to take over Gotham I got locked in a capsule venom
Went to Arkham’s  gate and released all the prisoners villains 
I use to be Arkham’s Knight

Have you ever listened to Rock Me Amadeus on Karaoke

I would rather be a Bat Out Of Hell on my Stairway To Heaven

And that is what they will have to sing when my box gets lowered

Sunk into eternity while the...Read More

Pale Though Her Eyes
by Michael R. Burch

Pale though her eyes,
her lips are scarlet
from drinking of blood,
this child, this harlot

born of the night
and her heart, of darkness,
evil incarnate
to dance so reckless,

dreaming of blood,
her fangs—white—baring,
revealing her lust,
and her eyes, pale, staring...


Like Angels,...Read More

she says of me
inspiring
but that's what
she is to me

i'm aspiring
but slightly
lying that
i'm trying

writing as if
a blind man
out for a
walk a

round town but
my cane and feet
tell no shape or form
for all i know i'm going

but thinking
what it means
to go around

Me... creature of comfort? Bah

Once again mine lock, stock
and barrel trade in balderdash
finds yours truly (i.e. me)
to type poem frisson a$$ off
as dentures chatter and gnash,
while still inside me gobstopper,
(the sole way to generate
plea for coveted heat),

which will moost likely
meet...Read More

My children are growing up fast,
I remember as if it were only yesterday that I was able to hold every one of them in my arms.
Holidays and birthdays have come and gone.
Years passing by slipping thru my finger tips.

I wish I had you by my side
You were the best friend I ever had
Not being able to see you grow as a man
Hurts me inside everyday that goes by

The stories I hear from your friends
Makes me think I missed...Read More

If looks were death
My face would kill
The mirror tells me this

When I wrinkle a piece of paper
Throw it away I see my face
With eyes as blind as a bat

Hair of a bald eagle
Whats left is gray
Whiskers of a walrus

Under this...Read More
