Lozenge
by Michael R. Burch

Reason Without Rhyme
by Michael R. Burch
I used to be averse
to free verse,
but now I admit
YOUR rhyming is WORSE!
But alas, in the end,

The Iditarod Race
To Nome! To Nome!
The mushers are far from home.
Winding ribbon of snow,
Iditarod trail is hard to tow,
Blowing wind smacking faces,
As they pick up their paces,
Vying for their pot-of-gold.

You had control,

Above the mountains sun has risen
Below runs horde of bison
The colors whether spring or fall spirit can brighten
Atlas on his shoulders has weight of the world
His muscles are burled

Heavenly Bodies
Sun shines upon the world
Too much or too little sun and there would be no life on our world
Moon creates moisture by which spirit is burled
