Best Carroll Poems

everyday I see people dwelling in the dark dungeons of life
and despite them trying to do the right thing they're struck with trouble and strife
felled by illness, unemployment, homelessness and all manners of despair
but I've never seen anyone who would not then kneel down in...

A spore is placed upon my tongue
Hallucinagenic seed
Images will soon appear
As mushroom starts to breed

The body starts to tingle
As the mind begins to glow
Spiders crawl about the wall
And carpet starts to grow

TV speaks in foreign words
And music can be seen
Am I just a form of...

All these brilliantly shining currents
Of memories
 Of  words.
  Of memories

Like waterfalls gushing out the earthen vessel.
A tragicly equipped troubadour tantalized
By living,    at the movies,

Nodding just so.
Dangling above it all    nearly.
The vision is almost pristine
The way the muses'...

Nancy was one pretty flapper, even if it was pretend
The photographer loved her photo the best to the end.

He kept her photo on his mantle until his very last day....

Salvador Dali’s work makes me smile, sometimes laugh even.
It uplifts me, makes me feel happy, brings joy.
He was more daring at his heyday than any artist ever.
His risk taking ability has opened up the realm of possibility for others.
He was the Lewis Carroll/Edgar Allen Poe...

Morning At Work

Impaired by his tremors
And a troublesome cough,
He turned fur into felt
Before cooling things off.

He drooled once or twice
And grew cold in his bones,
But he shaped all the felt

Grew restless again
And woke as the toxins
Played games with his...

Morning

The Innkeeper checked his watch once again 
Hoping the chef's feelings weren't hurt.
The last time they were, he arrived two hours late
And then left, serving just his dessert.

Sadly the chef, on this day of all days
Turned up filthy, flies open and drunk.
A black cat meowed...

Tonight, Let's Remember
by Michael R. Burch

July 7,2007 (7-7-7)

Tonight, let's remember, as mortals do,
how cutely we chortled when work...

Staring in her face,
and nothing else was
The food could be drugged
But the sign said “eat me” and “drink me” and “be me”
So Alice did what she was told, 
Being a curious girl.
It was her first act...

The sun is shining so bright
As the little birds sing so beautifully
And the children play along

And true love fills the air
And your so beautiful in life
An Angel from heaven above
And she makes everyone smile in life and
With summer time in the air
It's so beautiful and...
