The Dancing: the Return Thereof
Prelude
After banishing my foe off to hell
The Lord took pity on my soul
And returned it to my undead shell
Again, I was alive and whole
But the consequences of a second chance
Meant that I would have...

Dramatic Verse
Unlikely Mike, for Michael Jackson
Unlikely Mike
by Michael R. Burch
I married someone else’s fantasy;
she admired me despite my mutilations.
I loved her for her heart’s sake, and for mine.
I hid my face and changed its connotations.
And in the dark I danced—slight,...

Twilight Hours
In the twilight hours I lie
On my back face-up closed-eyes facing the sky
I am clarity
Not fully awake or asleep
Free of prejudiced mind and sanity
And my mind wanders
Snippets of thoughts and assessments
Judgements and decisions...

Dancing On the Edge of a Pin
She was a tiny angel of a woman
mindlessly moving, in a chemical faze
her heart baracaded, tormented
from her long, lonely days
while dancing on the edge of a pin.
Dreaming images with her feet, twirling
oblivious on a...

Hyacinth
The winged god Zephyrus, handsome and graceful
gently flapped his wings, gliding across the meadows.
His eyes fell on naked youths splashing at play
in the sparkling water of a deep wide pool, sheltered
by willow trees,...

Words hang from rafters in cobwebs of silence

Floor boards creak without pace like a...

Life Could Not Be Better
You came into our lives a spark.
A blur of chestnut red,
Igniting us with canine love,
And nestling by our bed.
Chasing swallows in the park
That teased you in their flight,
Relentlessly you chase them...

Class of 2017: the Little Rascals Crew
It’s been four (long) years. Yes, long - to my dismay.
Some think it goes quickly; RUBBISH! I say.
When you have a child, the days will drag,
The season crawl, and the years can lag.
But onward we...

Halloween's Portentous Fate
It was the darkest night of the year, and the light was eclipsed but the haunting moon was so near. Lagging

Prose Poetry
Dawn Steps Lightly into the Day
Silence quells the bells
as dawn sneaks into the space,
where darkness reigned supreme.
All is hushed and holding back.
For something to be assembled.
From the dis-membered memories,
littering the floor from the day before.
Mists slowly spread their pale...

The End of the Trail
Two weeks we'd been droving; and the end was now in sight
In the distance was Dodge City, we'd be there before night
I was on the trail with other cowboys from the Double Circle Ranch
And we...

Narrative
Loos, France, Fall 1915
Slaughter amongst the slag heaps
Bodies bowed over barb wire
Screeching, screaming
artillery arching above
soon to descend
amputating limbs
shattering skulls
blood and brains
splattering stains on
comrades too close
mixing with the mud
Grappling with grenades
Supplies short
London, Lancashire
and Lancaster lads
battling like beasts within
that Hohenzollern...

Northern Winter Night
Driving, bleary-eyed, down a winding state route,
no moon overhead to break-up the dark,
just clouds blocking out even the stars,
my headlights shine on white banks against the black.
Trees stark, barely visible on the edges,
wind swirls loose...

Committees, Boards, Panels and Such
Perhaps the most inane entities contrived by the human race,
(Leaving folks wondering why they must meet in the first place),
Are the interminable meetings of committee, panel and board,
Convening for hours leaving participants bleary-eyed and bored!

The Harshest Trick
I strolled beneath a barren wood,
feeling maligned, misunderstood.
Late night attempts at cloning sheep
bore little else but lack of sleep.
My research grant had been denied,
so I, exhausted, bleary-eyed,
set out on foot to clear the mind,
to leave...
