Turning the corner is round the bend 
Upended or suspended from a bagpipe squeeze
Something knee-deep in surreal screams 
Or kept in small transparent jars
Like really old scars
Or rusty screws you’ll never use
But don’t throw away because......you never know , ...Read More

Go, run, hurry, chase,
Every jack, king queen and ace!
Crazy social race!!
Fate deals cards never the same!
Many playing a losing game!

Crazy Horse's Naming Vision
by Michael R. Burch

Earthbound,
and yet I now fly
through these clouds that are aimlessly drifting...
so high
that no sound
echoing by
below where the mountains are lifting
the sky
can be heard.

Like a bird,
but not meek,
like a hawk from a distance regarding its...Read More

I AM NO SAINT

I AREN'T NO SAINT
NOT A DEMON EITHER
I KNOW MY PAINS
AND KNOW MY GAINS
CALL IT CRIMES
I CALL IT MY RHYMES
I FORGIVE MYSELF OF MY PAST
IF YOU LIKE BE THE LAST
IF MY BEING LAZY DRIVES YOU CRAZY
THAT'S YOUR RACE...Read More

The Care and Feeding of Ideas

Someone wrote them down. 
Words, on parchment, various kinds.
Someone else...
probably edited, and formatted, 
and thought through, and revised, 
and then it was all re-written. 
After consideration, 
adulation, 
spontaneous combustion of excitement, 
mixed with the revelry...Read More

A happy go lucky guy was he,   
until the "thread" of bad health set in.      
As the many years passed by,            ...Read More

What becomes of crazy mixed up kids fifty years on?
They become crazy mixed up elderly he-goats.
I am in part a Protestant,
In part I am a Jew,
But then I am a Catholic,
on off-days an atheist, too.
I’m something of a socialist
and pay...Read More

Come, You
by Ranier Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Come, you?the last one I acknowledge; return?
incurable pain searing this physical mesh.
As I burned in the spirit once, so now I burn
with you; meanwhile, you consume my flesh.

This wood that long...Read More

Did you watch it, what a show
Little Mikey slammed around,
Battered slowly blow by blow
With accusations that astound.

Pocahontas on the war path,
She’s the one that wields the axe,
Indignation, poisoned wrath
Her solutions just more tax.

Crazy Bernie full of zeal
Flaring nostrils squinting eyes,
Somewhat...Read More

You face the wall,
And snore through the night. 
I face the window,
And pray for morning light. 

You say it’s all in my head,
We’re not falling apart. 
The pain is in my chest,
The breaking of a heart. 

You face the wall,...Read More

The shoreline came into view
As the days drifting meant nothing to do
I woke each morning hoping for this sight
Being disappointed was usual as the sun became bright

Our captain had gone crazy
Blowing a hole in our ship for reasons that were...Read More

Women have begun to flourish in the past forty years.
They are taking honors in directing, publishing, and writing.
They are fearless in showing their voices.

Women are not content to sit back and allow others to live.
They are grabbing a little gusto...Read More

Some airlines allow a small pet
To stop folk from getting upset
But a ‘comfort horse’
Isn’t par for the course
I’d challenge this airline’s mindset!

I’m allergic to animal fur
Of kitties who meow and purr
It would drive me insane
If pets were on my plane
I...Read More

Where were you when they assassinated Mark Zuckerberg?
I was having a  and using Facebook
I was promoting this book in erotic groups
The bastards blocked me from posting
Because my book is a rude one

Full of well written adult poems
Which feature varied...Read More

Unfair Calories 

Chocolate cake, 
can be eaten fast or slow. 
Depends on who, 
is at the end of the fork. 
But I tell you true, 
there is a thing that happens, 
to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More

Cyrus...

President of the country, 
not like any that came before. 
Or... Like any that will follow. 
Standing in the gap between the flood, 
and the waters of eternity, 
threatening to consume the weak, 
kill the innocent, 
and feast on the...Read More

Strange Weather 

The camels are swimming, 
and who knew...
they knew how?
What a surprise...
to all that stood by, 
watching them cross the desert, 
like ducks on a pond. 

Careful and fearful, 
some should be, 
as the sucking sand, 
has grown hungry.
Pulling...Read More

Wake

What is that noise?
I have heard it before?
In the ramblings...
of my loved ones words? 

I must get up and seek it out.
I rise like the house is on fire...
but in fear of being alive, 
but dead still. 
I rush.
I place...Read More
