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.
You seek an air
so clear,
so rarified
the effort leaves...

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
and the ungrieving
winds demur...
telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...
here where you have...

The State of the Art
The State of the Art (I)
by Michael R. Burch
Has rhyme lost all its reason
and rhythm, renascence?
Are sonnets out of season
and poems but poor pretense?
Are poets lacking fire,
their words too trite and forced?
What happened to desire?
Has...

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...

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.

Michael R Burch
Perhaps at three
you'll come to tea,
to have a cuppa here?
You'll just stop in
to sip dry gin?
I only have a beer.
To name the greats:
Pope, Dryden, mates?
The whole world knows their names.

ripening scent teasing my nose,
trilling my lips and tongue, – my taste buds opening
to bird-like songs as dawn's light breathes new life
and hope into my journey, so begins

Exist
I’m waiting for one of ‘those calls’
That involves a dear friend,
May not have seen him since last fall,
But ‘E-N-D’ still spells end.
He is in good hands,
Or so they all say,
Tagged name in a band,
In case...

Release My Mind From Churlish Chains
Sometimes in churlish chains
Fed up with ribald refrains
On my mind inflicting pains and strains
In the morning, afternoon and night
When from life I gain no delight
Sinking into sorrows on the flight
From illusion
Conflated with delusion
Carved from collusion
Between...

Love In Your Heart
Love in your heart by Gideon Cecil
Keep love in your heart
Hate rips your soul apart.
Life without love is

at dawn but dies at noon.
Let love grow in your
soul like a tree

Money, Value, and a Response
“Four dollars a shot,”

each syllable carried the clanks
of Herbie’s Rhodes – jutting like
glacier crags in swells of desert-base.
They carried the smoke curling like
a silver chain...

A Small Bookshop
Ranks of glossy printed editions
squeezed into a concertina of space.
The acrylic smell of new books
is cordite to my nose.
Then in softer contrast,
the musky ambiance of the old and well-thumbed,
a well used dust on dust-covers.
