Best Resemblance Poems

I am like a tiger, untamed
Free to go, unnamed
Roars to injustice 
Leads the trial 
Fears no species 
Becomes no slave
I am like a tiger 
In his speed and games
In his trick and claims
I am like a tiger 
In its beauty in color
And its devotion that...

Heavenly sculptures floating high
Define those images I try
Is that a rabbit hopping by?
Each design changing art
Imagination on the fly
Once a frog, now a heart

Fluffed up egos strut on their way
White, cottony coats turn to gray
Blue disappears to my dismay
Light to dark brewing storm
Grumpy groans follow...

In the right corner of the hall a girl sat,
looking just like the girl in my
heart.

Then i took a close and keen look,
she was as beautiful as my girl looks.

Hands on cheek and appearance as that
of meek.
As i kept observing, i noticed her mind
was set...

Eileen looks sometime
Like America.

Sometimes, 
America looks like Eileen....

Greed or need,
whoever designed it
is laughing at us,
despite its resemblance
to wealth,
it cripples health,
destroys the land,
flows freely
like grains of sand,
it spreads everyday,
like a necessity here,
it frightens without fear,
money and fame is the lure,
death is the cure....

There's somebody who is like a father,
he has a divine resemblance with Jesus:
merciful eyes and encouraging words:
woe to him if he does not preach what he says;
many young men have been easy prey for priests,
even Pope Francis couldn't cover up their lies...
and portray them with...

Resemblance
by Michael R. Burch

Take this geode with its rough exterior—
crude-skinned, brilliant-hearted ...
a diode of amethyst—wild, electric;
its sequined cavity—parted, revealing.
Find in its fire all brittle passion,
each jagged shard relentlessly aching.
Each spire inward—a fission startled;
in its shattered entrails—fractured light,
the heart ice breaking.

Tears flow in torrents,
spasmodic gulp and shiver,
I weep aloud when haunted by some moonlight ghost resemblance
my dead cousin’s fleeting angel halo to the fore.
Shrouded in a haze of mournful rupture,
knowing that our deepest wounds precede the grim acknowledgement of threadbare memory,
feeble consolation as we quietly...

My sister and me 
two peas in a pod alike 
age holds difference...

Floating, fluttering playing among the flowers,
A butterfly... I wonder if it's the butterfly or my Fu.

You can see me in your face
(past version)

In life you didn’t know me.
I had died so long ago.
But in another when you knew me,
In an existence all aglow.

I hope someday you’ll find me
On some page with faded ink -
Part of your family history -
That undiscovered...

Stranger


When I first met you,
I had yet to face you,

Memories dug deep,
Presented as a heap,

Resemblance of me,
Your semblance deceived,

Ungrateful eyes,
And a fateful life,

Stories untold,
And memories unfold

A gaze and a stare,
Within the rage and despair,

Two strangers meet,
And sane they leave,

To horizons unseen,
And boundaries within.....
