Best Makers Poems
The Songs & the Makers
My soul understood Lynyrd Skynyrd
Like Ronnie I had monkeys to
Just simple boys chasing life’s joys
With our needles playing our blues
My soul understood Pink Floyd
For I have lived inside the wall
Comfortably numb and ignorantly dumb
Living my life forever tasting the call
My soul understood Nirvana
The White Horse has lived in my stall
I’ve tasted death at...

The Fear Frenzy Makers
While we sit with our coffee and poetry,
The Fear Frenzy Makers burn the midnight oil.
Digging up lies, just anything man!
To stuff up your brain like cement in a can.
They've succeeded in making you believe the
world is ending and...
That only chemicals sold by a fracture led
pharmacy nation
Will lead you to be a health sensation.
The Frenzys have...

The New Myth Makers
My pleasure is in creating my own mythology.
I have read the saga's, the legends the great epics,
and they have made a garden for my spirit to walk in,
yet, they are the 'other' stories, ones told for so long now
they seem like the often played grooves
in an old vinyl record.
Better to unfold my own myths, better...

Makers
Take this sun away
Throw it into the fray
When I'm down
You kick me in the heart
Leaving me to wallow
With my heart bruised & hallow
Left dreaming
Deaf to the electric screaming
Screeching in my brain
Nick naming me Cain
Translating hurt as shame
Calling me weird & maimed
Blinded by the harvest moon
I start to act like a loon
The...

Breeze Makers
The Makara breeze makers
Turn slowly under the clouds
Clockwise
As if forming a connection
Between time
And airflow
Their one legged man made intrusion
On the spectacular landscape
Three armed trinity
Man uses nature in the quest for power...

Makers Upon Makers
makers upon makers
On swings the pendulum after countless ticks and tocks
Singing the glorious requiem for its dying brethren clocks
It taps the world with waning tempo to preach evanescence
Yet its past and streaming photons mark a boundless presence
An image between ticks engraves where dust is in the wind
Recording life's ebb, whether...

Gossip Makers
I glimsped back...
And caught you laughing upon me..
Is it some jokes you were making about me..
I peered at you perplexed...
For I just smiled to everyone and greeted you like a civilised being.
Didn't you notice?
I want to come to you and ask what is the joke?
Because I know not what you were mocking me about...
My dress..my...

What the Poet Sees
by Michael R. Burch
What the poet sees,
he sees as a swimmer
~~~underwater~~~
watching the shoreline blur
sees through his breath’s weightless bubbles...
Both worlds grow obscure.
Muse/Goddess
by Michael R. Burch
“What will you conceive in me?”
I asked her. But she
only smiled.
“Naked, I bore your child
when the wolf wind howled,
when the cold moon scowled...
naked, and gladly.”
“What...

The Lace Makers
Sussanah,my great grandma,times three,a pillow puffed up on her knee;with
daughter Ann in cobbled Cowfair,daily shaped their homespun ware.In such
humble women,cottage-tied,a rare and dextrous art did reside.Fashioned
out,stitch by stitch,pillowed lace in patterns rich.Tinkling bobbins with bewildering
skill,inch by inch grew the intricate frill.Twisting threads in pairs and
groups,knitted together with interlocking loops.An established...

We Are the Makers
We are the makers, the purveyors, the consumers of our creed.
But also in unison, the conductors of why we ultimately bleed.
We all drink from the same fountain of life, we borrow our breath from its precious spout.
So many refuse to breathe though, only blowing hate, causing us to drown in a river of drought.
Perhaps someday...

Judgement Makers
Judgement Makers
Be careful, watch your words.
Remember what Christ said:
"Do not judge lest you be
judged also!"
We muck about like God himself.
We. Yes, I said "we" have already
decided.
Who is going to heaven and who
is going to hell.
Tell God, He has nothing to do on
Judgement Day!
For arrogant humanity's proclivity
to sanctity,
Knows today who is going to hell
and...
