Best Xxiv Poems

“For other answer”, told, “ I cannot lean
Than do it, because to honest question
Must follow action, with no word between”.

We dropped down the bridge with its progression
Where following it is reached the eighth bank,
Then I saw the circle of succession:

And saw inside it an horrible...

In the early part of the novel year 
When in Aquarium sun anneals hair
And nights already at noon disappear,

When the hoarfrost makes  ground a cover wear
Creating image of her sister white,
But it then short lasts to its temper there,

The little peasant missing forage quite,
Gets...

Unquotable quotes: Witch-Doctors and Tribal Headmen* – XXIV-Part One

The Uhr-Father of the embodiment of spiritual power since the Middle Ages must certainly have been the Witch-Doctor of primitive societies who shared power with the Headman of the Tribe (to which each of us separately belongs).
The...

My Gift,

“The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.” - Henri Bergson

I feel, I felt
tingles in the far recesses of my soul
swirling in an ever circular motion
surrounding the pounding of my heart
resounding inside...

 IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXIV

IF you pull that long martyred face
While brake-disks hiss howl metal-doors click-clutch-cluck on railway
No Tokyo masks nor hand darts to protect the homefront populace
Breeding grounds Underground cooking love-cold soup bacteriae

If you pull that damnit I've-caught-it again...

To billionaires t-rump's a tool

Sonnets XVII-XXIV

Discrimination
by Michael R. Burch

The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.
I found it in sheet music, in long rows
of hologramic CDs, in sad wrecks
of long-forgotten volumes undisturbed
half-centuries by archivists, unscanned.
I read their fading numbers, frowned,...

Carefully watching every word I said;
For the moment I did not want to tread  
any longer on this sharp vampire’s toes;
Something new I was going to compose;

‘Fable’ I asked ‘when are we to begin? ‘
I was going to become the linchpin 
of the entire...

I live in a world,
Where I satisfy you always,
Where desires of the heart
Are more than attainable

And the attainable itself is nimble
In Reality's gaze,
So I prefer the stare 
Off in the distance of Fantasy

DISTILLED JAMAICAN ANTHEM
Eternal Father Bless Our Land
we dare to move from plantation puppets to freedom
and we who had no voice to speak before must find
in ourselves a deeper than the echo of words design

Guide Us...

I know you’ve been hit
The Messenger of Misery 
He has done Evil
He’s done it against You
He’s done You much good.

He will bend you Hard
As if to break you, but No.
He will hit on you
Like Long-time Enemies

But the truth and fact remains
Neither God nor Nature is...

Those eyes that flicker in yonder light
flourish like snakes during summer nights
So seasoned and cultured unshaken they float
Though none can tell what’s pristine or trite

‘tis often I ponder what spare
pages you sought to share
A question mark be thy beauty
such a being surmised as rare

her smile...
