Kin
by Michael R. Burch
for Richard Moore
1.
Shrill gulls,
how like my thoughts
you, struggling, rise
to distant bliss?
the weightless blue of skies
that are not blue
in any atmosphere,
but closest here...
2.

the effort leaves...

The Making of a Poet
The Making of a Poet
by Michael R. Burch

No Mark
No Mark
by Michael R. Burch
A wave implodes,
impaled upon
impassive rocks...
this evening
the thunder of the sea
is a wild music filling my ear...
you are leaving

as it was before...
here where you have...

The State of the Art (I)
by Michael R. Burch

Political Artistry

to only write if they cannot live without doing so.
Elder successful icons of artistic expression,
dance,

drama,
sculptors

Discrimination
by Michael R. Burch
The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.
I found it in sheet music, in long rows
of hologramic CDs, in sad wrecks
of long-forgotten...

Modern Sonnets I
MODERN SONNETS I
I prefer the original definition of the sonnet as a “little song” of indeterminate form and length. These modern sonnets vary from more-or-less traditional to free verse.

Bleeding Before Rome -2
Yet at this very moment the cathedral was crumbling
down upon the cries of foresaken refugees,
the monastery's walls wobbling from war's wreckage,
and as the black bursts billowed into sun drenched brutality

She rode us,
She saved us
And once we were...

maybe beside a quaint pool where seasons wrought.
The youthful maiden known to others as Marie,
trapped hearts of many callow gents' curiosity
