Premium Member T'Was the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, all children were in bed
Elves were loading the sleigh, for Santa's big night ahead
A heavy fall of fresh snow had now covered the ground
The whole world was hushed, there wasn't a sound.

Santa went over to the stables to round up...

Annus Mirabilis-1905
March is a time of transition
winter and spring commence their struggle
between moments of ice and mud
a robin appears heralding the inevitable
life stumbling from its slumber
it was in such a period of change in 1905
that the House of Physics
would see its Newtonian axioms
of an ordered universe...

Keep Your Memories
At first my sweet Girl tried to hide it
Pretend to me that he did not exist
But his influence on her was heavy
A tease so strong she couldn’t resist

And as our lifelong magic faded
His hold just grew more intense
God knows I pleaded and objected
But my very...

I Cooked the Book That Would Not Tap
I Cooked the Book that Would Not Tap
 
A Doomsday, a nightmare gone wrong,
My hand shot with pain and didn’t stop,
Bandages hid the wound I wove for kong,
The silence echoed round the wheel fop.

I screamed with tears which said the news,
When sirenes had been screened...

A Day For a Lifetime
Driving my car across the country, numerous years ago, going to a new place,       
     Changing who I’d know
A loud bang broke the boredom and blue smoke filled the air, engine was

Tres Leches
A meal is not a meal to me
Unless it has dessert.
When looking at a menu,
I kick in to high alert.

I have my favorites but at times
I’ll sample something new
And that is how a special treat
Came up for my review.

When dinner ended (Mexican),
We gave our guest...

Remembering Old Time Telephone Service - a Short Story
Remembering Old-Time Telephone Service 

By Elton Camp

Only a few decades ago, the wireless telephones that have become so much a part of our lives were inconceivable and remained so until the advent of Star Trek in the 1960s.  Seeing the crew of the Enteprise...

Rainer Maria Rilke Translation: the Panther
The Panther
by Rainer Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

His weary vision's so overwhelmed by iron bars,
his exhausted eyes see only blank Oblivion.
His world is not our world. It has no stars.
No light. Ten thousand bars. Nothing beyond.
Lithe, swinging with a rhythmic easy stride,
he circles,...

Come On, What Do You Believe
C’mon, What Do You Believe? 

I am not a Christian atheist and never was, 
Although I did adopt it sometimes to get by, 
‘Cos my parents objected to my articulation, 
Smooth, fluent, of the bible’s progressive cry. 

I did not read it like that intelligently,...

Mother of All Political Poetry, Yucatec Maya and Dr Anil Sook Deo
Staking Claims: For Yucatec Maya & Native Peoples

The stones of the desert cry with me
They are brothers and sisters, but no bloody kin
New hearts see just cold rocks … no warmth or charity …
Might you see how we worship gods in them?

The gods themselves are...

What Is Your Answer
His head lifted, and looking for his brothers, 
He found his mum, sanely able again to relate to him, 
Cold, death-like figure, icy face, warm outline of a kin, 
Grieving, her brave face emanated hope for him; 
His head stayed up, but only for a...

When I walked on the street my known knew that who am I?
When I commit something wrong they note and complain my try,

The Tide
They thought i was disabled by choice, not by veracious right, 
They thought, ‘cos i objected to medicine’s lady, 
But my parents were both a malady, 
To medicine’s elegance and height. 

My parents were faith healers, into prayer, 
For coughs, colds and constipation, 
And so...

The Easter Rising
On the Easter weekend after WW I began, 
When the religious Irish had their mind on god, 
They concluded that life and death, the ban, 
Was not the British’s, but theirs to span or fraud. 

It was an armed insurrection against the gov, 
Of the...
