green crowns,
there they...

SnapshotsSnapshots
by Michael R. Burch

And there you go, skipping your way to school.
And here we are, drifting apart
like untethered balloons.
Here I am, creating "art,"
chanting in shadows,
pale as the crinoline moon,
ignoring your face.
There...

Rejection Slip
by Michael R. Burch
Whenever my writing gets rejected,
I always wonder how the rejecter got elected.

lying darkening at dusk
illuminated by...

Celena, Brave Celena- Part 1From Judges 11.
Pronunciation: Seh-LAY-nah
His brothers cast the young man out, the child of an harlot;
He fled away to distant Tob before they found an outlet

And drive...

Offpeak ExperiencesSend me no more peak experiences.
They are too dear
for my everyday time budget
of liberal
liberated
liberating
resonantly exhausting compassion.
I am too addicted
to conserving resilient peaks,
avoiding dissonant valleys
of mundane anonymity
sometimes winning
sometimes losing
in-between equanimity
integrity
of co-empathic co-arising intent

The Pending DoomI aped to a blue heron to a man who wrote his deed.
Once you're at the final of the story, no woe is needed.

Its midnight,
And it’s settling in.
I’ve been home
Just a few hours.
Comfortable in my home,
At ease with my hobbies.

But then its gone.
Like it was never even there.
And...

When the Sun passes through the merry-go-round
beyond the horizon
when the turbulent wind is silenced,
and the voice of the cicadas
is no longer heard…

Oaks and PinesStanding in succession with the winds
There is a lightness in the air of the lush greens.
Different shades change the scene yet not the mood.
They dance side to side in a calming waltz....
