Long Delightedly Poems

A shaman has two vocations,
inter-related, 
wise teacher
and robust healer

With emphasis on noticing healthy natural systems
shared values
wealthy spiritual development of seasons
with timely regenerative change
without untimely degenerative treasons
to reason

Healers of motherland
and Her EarthTribes.

My favorite teachers
seem to remember...

You’re an angel of light (in my sight)
Well, I know you are unforgotten in my memory
And, darling, everything will be alright - You can fly…but I’m incompetent…I am  ashamed to say goodbye! 
Your moonlit...

to succumbing to nightly slumber.

adrift abed invariably occurs counting backwards

For future reference,
it might be best
if I give up radio listening
when going out
to take a rest
from domestic
and national
and international climate mess.

Arrested gardening yesterday.
We need more mulch
fragrant as a hemlock forest retreat,
we are
and yet become
when in...

LIGHT VERSE AND NONSENSE VERSE III

The Humpback
by Michael R. Burch

The humpback is a gullet
equipped with snarky fins.
It has a winning smile:
and when it SMILES, it wins
as miles and miles of herring
excite its fearsome grins.
So beware,...

You are the enchanting persona,...

Once upon a time,
In a secluded, distant kingdom,
There lived a beautiful princess
Who spent her days carefree,
If not slightly impassive,
Exploring the palace gardens and
Dancing nimbly around the courtyards,
More often than not accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting,
The youngest...

I didn’t get on with my neighbour next
Door, he didn’t like me being happy
I’ll turn you into a mouse he said or a rat
Or perhaps a dog, or a skunk or a cat,
Fancy that, he...

Crow's claws carrion campy carping
nsync nocturnal teenage mutant ninja turtles
analogous to scuttling
(think) browed beastie boys scarab beetle
brandishing sharp small scabbard swords

delightedly digging daggers deep
into deadened prey
rotting roadkill repulsively reeking
formerly (mere moments ago) once
fancy free and...

So what sane parent
would intentionally lead their family 
into internal
or external war,
right?

Well, apparently former political

neonazis,
Islamic fundamentalists,
Christian fundamentalists...

kleptocratic and oligarchical Second Amendment

There are red and green snitchies in my fingers,
They rapidly chase me down my wooden hall.
Delightedly twirl me I into a mass with their zingers,
Eleven can quickly roll me into a giant ball.

An enormous blue...

We woke up early to a 50 degrees morning….six o’clock to be specific
In order to make the 70 mile trip to Rialto Beach on the coast of the Pacific.

It was a two hour circuitous trip...

Glorious spring sunshine kiss my limbs as they sprout
With each opening bud, "I'm so alive" I want to shout
April showers cling to me as I drink each delicious drop
Hopefully chosen by blue jays to build...

MICHELANGELO'S HANDS

When eyes delight upon a work of Michelangelo—gut wrenching art--
Creation by a mere man, from his enchanted hands
explode results of David –perhaps a heavenly message to impart

To the earthbound, scattered world flung far in...

REBORN

Out comes the unwanted object of derision,

Conceived after a hasty union along an unlit alley,

By a mother wholly enslaved to syringes

And a father utterly imprisoned by bottles.

The brawls were painfully endless – 

Shouting, slapping, kicking,...

I seem to recall a story
Long, long ago
Where two pillars of their Gods
Stood beside the Atlantic flow

They stood at the end
Of a great walled canyon
To another world you'd pass
Where every one was a companion

These people...

which never slept. i always find my eyelashes

Crystallized in sheer vibrancy
Dazzling intricate patterns that
Are gazed upon and delightedly
Tasted on salty tongue as they
Drift and sparkle the mountaintops
Each one a work of art by nature

A phenomenon of the heavens
Steadily floating downward to earth

He laid there staring in outer space
His face showed no kind of emotion whatsoever.
She was confused as to what he was thinking, 
Suddenly her heart started to race, 
She calmly took a slow deep breath
