Long Agreeably Poems

Epigrams by Michael R. Burch

If brevity is the soul of wit
then brevity and levity

My work, dealings, obligations, routine is as a nexus,
Interacting connecting life with gratified emotional plexus...

When Mortimer Manders collapsed in the street,
his daughter, Muriel, was with him.
Though now seventy-five,

stabbing them greatly while they lament.
They hope to beautify on...

One tall and gaunt with hooded eyes
The other bearded, bent, time-worn and wise
They relished unfurling their intellectual sails
To seek secrets of wisdom on ancient gales

Two wizened old philosophers in a huddled conspiracy

Looping's a term
That is currently used
When a teacher and class
Are agreeably fused.

She knows...

In the berth of little pen,
Lost in the depth of sinful den

I'm a child...
in Plainview, Minnesota,
a young adult...
in a theatre in Paris.
