Birched Poems | Examples


Premium Memberthe ado of nature

"Niagra and the wise."

fresh waters of life
relief self impurities
to a fateful fall

"Do you hear what I hear?"

rawhide winds of war
birched last's stand amidst saviors
a tree faints away

"The void that Earth began."

mirages are dreams
of sand ~ prep A -- straight line to
... be -- and stay alive

"The Beaches of Warwick" NOT JK

Cher baby don't go
Miami sharks are biting
deBATE ~ still they go

"2024 sales higher than street drugs."

against popular
demand ~ Americans still
care of how they look

"The nature of ado."

it's a time for us
all the kids will visit me
~ the ado I need

Premium MemberWhile You Lay Breathing Quietly

Each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
I wander like a wraith through empty rooms
A phantom in both life and memory,
the ghost a long abandoned oath exhumes

I hover like a spirit over you
each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
so desperate to believe what isn't true,
I make the best of ambiguity

This specter in the mirror isn't me
These lines belong on someone elses face
Each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
it's loneliness that holds me in your place

My worth so long defined by your extremes;
extolled by love, or birched by perfidy,
I find it's just the first that haunts my dreams
each night, while you lay breathing quietly
