Petrarch translations into English
PETRARCH TRANSLATIONS Sonnet XIV by Petrarch translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Lust, gluttony and idleness conspire to banish every virtue from mankind, replaced by evil in his treacherous mind, thus robbing man of his Promethean fire, till his nature, overcome by dark desire, extinguishes the light pure heaven refined. Thus the very light of heaven has lost its power while man gropes...

A beer
A beer My person is not built to work all the time. I want to enjoy life... My way... I already had my career and it sucked Selfishness and greed I do not like I love what I am doing But I get tired ... So I have a beer … ~ Pauly G ...

The neighborhood buffet boasted fried chicken and biscuits, toasted, creamy gravy, and smashed taters. You can serve yourself, no waiters. Into the long line you will strut more than ready to fill your glut. Bypass the green salads and soup; run quickly, to the fried foods swoop all you can eat for one price cheap. Pile your...

Gluttony Takes No Prisoners
Gluttony takes no prisoners, And leaves nothing behind to grow, Except the need for more. Gluttony unchecked will end our planets usefulness, But not our usefulness, In helping Gluttony get to more and more planets. More, more, more, and ever more, Is Gluttony's call to all but the wiry, And the spendthrift, The non-alcoholic, And the tree Hugger, The Hermit, And the one actually on a diet. But...

There was a young man who was obese. He ate too much and now he's deceased. He went to his favorite restaurants and ate a lot of food every day. He died at the age of thirty and it's not surprising that he passed away. His family told him that his gluttony might prove fatal and they begged him...

Premium Member Paperbacks and Gluttony
I’ve read too many Words – adjectives and adverbs Poetry and prose Both delicious with color And captivating with feeling Like music, they have charmed me My mind absorbs their excuses Benefiting from their reasons Justifications that count Me one of the spellbound One of the awestruck One trapped by names Styles and expressions Terms and verses Disputes within the passages I have read them Devoured them with a hunger That is...

The Glutton
Do not stretch out your hand for everything you see For evil is the eye that makes your tongue seek A delicious, diverse platter better left untouched To allow you peaceful slumber and a tummy unclutched. Let not your tongue hang out for the tasty display And have you elbowing diners out of the way For a little bit of honey...

Modern Appetite
Modern Appetite by Michael R. Burch "Women, wine, song ..." It grumbled low, insisting it would feast on blood and flesh, etcetera, at least three times a day. With soft lubricious grease and pale salacious oils, it would ease its way through life. Each day—an aperitif. Each night—a frothy bromide, for relief. It lived on TV fare, wore pinafores, slurped sugar-coated gumballs, gobbled S’mores. When...
