ms. deborah digges died today
plunged to the earth and they found her that way
she took her complex thoughts of simplicity
and buried them in the soil of the university
i suppose like most who take their own lives
we will never know the real cause of her death
but when one leaps from a building so high

Miss Ramsey
Kindergarten was a scary word for me,
Though I longed to go, I was kind of worried
But, lo and behold, there was nothing to fear
Because, when I entered the class…
There came a smile, so sincere.
She was tall with dark hair that rested high on her head,
She wore glasses and required me to listen to her share

All Things Galore
All Things Galore
by Michael R. Burch
(for my grandfathers George Edwin Hurt Sr. and Paul Ray Burch, Sr.)
Grandfather,
now in your gray presence
you are
somehow more near
and remind me that,
once, upon a star,
you taught me
wish
that ululate soft phrase,
that hopeful phrase!
and everywhere above, each hopeful star
gleamed down
and seemed to speak of times before
when you clasped my small glad hand

Confessions of a Driving Instructor
Confessions of a Driving Instructor - yes I was one in a previous life and this is just a bit of fun!
I get paid to sit down all day
It must be the easiest job you say
But far too many blind spot checks

Each time that you crunch the gear
My body tenses

The Driving Instructor

You may even lose
that other ball!
Please tell me all...
Apart from driving
you know so much.
About stanzas, syllables,
sex, love and such.
I'm waiting patiently
in my car.
My fancy Peugeot,
my powerful steed.
Maybe I could teach
you a thing

My Instructor, Bill
Flew control line planes till I met Bill
Who said, RC is the way
Give up that stuff, I’ll teach you RC
It’s a more fun way to play
RC stands for radio control
Had to buy a bunch of stuff
I bought it all as a package deal
Bill said, “You now have enough”
Bill and I hit it off from the
