Best Li Poems

Lone Li Ness is my name
No one calls it; I have no friends.
I had one once in second grade
But she moved

Shyness kept me from having other ones
Some loud kids lied about me being a bully
In fourth grade, and it stuck
In 7th grade I was “odd”...

Canvas,

Soft brush strokes touch your lips
every word a colour
caressing those little bits
creating a soul
a whole

a panpsychism 
free conscious
no objections

I the bristles bending with the curves
biting down at the turn
of the page
bookmarked the darkness bleeds
and I surface for another read
red looked up at green
back to blue

I am Li from the East
Not the the martial artist

I am half-Asian
Raised in Appalachian

I love to cook
Selling in any nook

I push and pull a cart
Honest from the bottom of my heart

I cook street food
Spook and hook so good

I fry squid balls, chicken and krill
Or saute...

I became the audience,
and witnessed a dance 
of freedom, lights dimmed 
the Pasa Doble lead out


I found in this masterpiece 
the unfolding in Air, en l’ 
the union, transposed over 
Swan’s in open Arabesque


a single leap
brushed the firmament
a country lost sight
of his gift to fly

Sonnets XLII-LI

Distances
by Michael R. Burch

Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.

Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.



A Surfeit of Light

There was always a surfeit of light...

Staring outwards my pale, stricken face;
          My face a pale moon floating on a sea.
    Before the cherries bud I will be gone;
Hereafter blossom drops...try remembering me.

Two figurines fell out of the sky
Dropped from a crop duster plane passing by.
The pilot yelled, "Look out down below!",
But no one could hear, he was flying so low.
The dolls struck Li Po who was filling his sack,
Now the rice farmer lifelessly floats on his...
