Lang Poems

Auld Lang Sighs

It doesn’t happen everyday
Through perilous weather, flies Santa’s sleigh
Reflecting in the Winter sun
Are its legs, in gunmetal grey

Yet as Christmas Eve turns to Morning
Falling behind red-silk and cotton
Among the frost
One’s mind is lost
And all else is forgotten

The children play with what was brought
Without as much as a second thought
From where these marvellous gifts came
Or in

THE CHEVALIER OF BURGOS

At the foot of Burgos’ Castle
Looking toward its beautiful Cathedral
I learned what it means:
 "To tide down by the pylon"
Or "to go down to the Moor Muza."
From waist down
It was the first time
I saw and rarely admired
My girlfriend's chestnut or mussel.
The hair around it
Reached almost to her knees.
I wanted sex
And to do it like the

The Lang Leav Irony

I mock your verses with a sneer,
Call them basic, insincere.
Hide your books beneath my bed,
Curse the simple words you've said.

Yet in darkness, truth comes clear:
Your pain and mine, they mirror near.
Each criticism that I throw
Masks the feelings that we know.

Days of Auld Lang Syne

You'll live inside my memory book
Sometimes I'll go back and look
Your image there won't fade away
A thousand years sharp as today

At one-o-five (105) if I'm still here
I'll open up that book so dear
And write through hands that then will shake
One last poem for old time's sake

For The Sake of Auld Lang Syne

Oh what a predicament as we sped through the night,
A whole train stretched behind us without a single light,
And through the thin walls we could plainly hear
The threats being shouted from both front and rear.
The long blonde squaddie, whose name I can’t recall
Nervously panicked because he’d caused it all.

An urgent call of nature on a

Kaffee Lang

It clicks and it whirs and it chunters,
This wonderful little machine,
As it takes and measures and grinds
Those marvellous little brown beans.
It hisses and it gurgles and it splutters
Then finally begins to pour
And just seconds later
A Kaffee Lang awaits once more,
Which just slips down the throat
So any morning muzziness slips away;
After such a fine coffee
Any man

Lang May Your Lum Reek

“Lang May Your Lum Reek"

Leave 
A light on
Like 
A fire aglow
Keep 
One burning
As
A warm hello 

Leave
A light on
Illuminate 
The way
Let 
Neighbors know
They’re 
Welcome to stay

Leave 
A light on
Not
Just for books
It’s says
You’re welcome 
Come
Into my nook

Leave a light on
Its 
Simple to do
If 
Down turns them 
Off
It’s 
All up for you

Auld Lang Syne

On a narrow street of Singalong
  spreads and banners hang along
Wreaths of subjects and icon
  flourish within the alleys of lexicon.

As acid waters plunge, 
  dirt and dust lounge.
Tin roofs clang, rants and rats run.

Not all streets boom with a bang
  Only in the street of auld lang syne.

Auld Lang Syne

Looking out my window at the snow falling softly
I am reminded of the passing of time 
the new year can bring new beginnings 
the new year always made me a bit melancholy 
leaving the ones I loved and lost even further away 
at least that’s how I feel every year when I hear 
auld lang

Auld Lang Syne

Christmas tree twinkles
ornaments shine
we're missing some
tears glisten
when I remember

Hindi Basta Bata Lang

Oo at hindi diretso ang iyong kahulugan,
Hindi rin tiyak iyong kinabukasan.
Subalit ika'y luwad ng mapagpalang Ama, 
Sa'yong kamay, hinugis ang sana.

Kaya't ipipilit, iiyak nang maging masaya;
Lulupasay, mag-aala uod sa lupa!
Ganito ka ngayon kaya kinakaladkad, 
Bukas, iba kana't lilipad mamumukadkad.

Taglay mo ang liksi at sigla, ang ngiti at tawa;
Munti man, kayang baguhin pati ang bala.
Daliring animo'y

Auld-Lang-Syne

I thought about you today as I so often do.
I felt the sad familiar feelings
that will not go away.
You came to mind in a flash of memory
While I was doing something else.

I never seek these thoughts.
They seem a painful waste of time.
How can a memory of broken trust comfort a wounded mind?

Wise counsel claims that

Another Year, Another Auld Lang Syne

Another year has passed by me and so much different then the last  
ever since this Covid March I have been living out my house arrest   
no outward smiles to show my love, no hugs no squeezes for my kids
like a Citizen of good I understood but yes, I almost flipped my

and the Ploughman Poet.

Two hundred sixty one orbitz elapsed
since brief existence of aforementioned
Scottish poet and lyricist graced Earth,
yet his legacy unwittingly still
enshrined, regaled, warbled...
upon cusp of New Year's Eve,
when revelers sing familiar

Robert Burns Translation: Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lange Syne
by Robert Burns
modern English translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days for which we pine?

For times we shared, my darling,
Days passed, once yours and mine,
We'll raise a cup of kindness yet,
To those fond-remembered times!

Have you ever wondered just exactly what you're singing?
