Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch

leave us out of tune,
torn,

her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the

the businessmen paste on their hair
and, Walter Mitties, woo the Muse
with reprimands of Dr. Seuss.

The Shape of Mourning

is an oiled creel
shining with unuse,
the bolt of cold steel

RipR.I.P.

When I am lain to rest

Myth
by Michael R. Burch
after the sprung rhythm of Dylan Thomas
Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.

from irreverence
thrown at it

The heavy clouds
And storms, of responsibility
