Halloween Poems IiiNo One
by Michael R. Burch
No One hears the bells tonight;
they tell him something isn’t right.
But No One is not one to rush;
he lies in grasses greenly lush
as far away a startled thrush
flees from horned owls...

A View From a WindowAs dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

On constitution Street you can find many thieves
Pick pockets, phone snatchers, and money grabbers

Hanging around with their hands in their pockets

“Sunflowers”
She planted the seeds
in their minds
that perhaps
something of beauty
could come from the bad time
could grow there
in their dead pockets
spreading like wildfire
futile men in their beds of disarray
across the battlefields of Magog

Enchanting Mother FishTo find enchanting integrity,
She transparently confronts her disenchantments
with present and past toxic flow,
disempowering absences of synergetic experience,
like rape and enslavement and aggressive commodification,
disharmonic songs
without time and space
for proper therapeutic dance,
desecrating liturgies of everyday.
Disenchantment
unveils what and...

China Travelogue 2Journey starts
Kunming portraits;
Highway song
Here old and new
Merge yet apart;
Vignettes juxtapose
China welcomes
Both ancient and modern;
Sign of the times
Tour group confronts
Unfamiliar grounds;
Rough edges grind
Quaint ways of old
Ancient tales displaced;
Modern day norms intervene
Spectacular vistas
Natural wonders;
Man seems insignificant
Flood tide...
