Son Say Goodnight To Grandpa
“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”
Spurred by mother dearest
as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.
Back in the day

The Shape of Mourning
by Michael R. Burch
The shape of mourning
is an oiled creel
shining with unuse,
the bolt of cold steel
on a locker
shielding memory,
the monthly penance
of flowers,
the annual wake,
the face in the...

Rejection Slip
by Michael R. Burch
Whenever my writing gets rejected,
I always wonder how the rejecter got elected.

Adieu - Part 2
The tears flowed and I still smiled,
My body and spirit and mind,
Were still in that state of residual bliss,
Soaking in your sweet smile,
And savoring the moonlit skin before me,
But my soul was being torn asunder,
And...

Freezer Mice: Reposted

The Outlander
I am an Outlander
Who lives on a high hill
Overlooking a man-made lake
That once was a rapidly rushing river
Along whose banks the Ozarks Bluff Dwellers and the Osage and then Delaware
Hunted, fished, and created shelter
For their...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 14

He waited for me in my rest,
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance
“My heart is Yours, always,

A Free-Verse Epic
Thus it begins—
A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and,
Often a pessimist
Conjoined in arbitrary glory
Are the thoughts and words
Of one overly-worked mind—
Charismatic and, of course,
On the pushover, pitiful
And usually...

Love Has a Southern Flavor
Love has a Southern flavor: honeydew,
ripe cantaloupe, the honeysuckle’s spout
we tilt to basking faces to breathe out
the ordinary, and inhale perfume ...
Love’s Dixieland-rambunctious: tangled vines,
wild clematis, the gold-brocaded leaves
that will not keep their order in...

Did You Ever Notice
Did you ever notice
our vampire legends
are almost always patriarchal,
sometimes even princely
and excruciatingly royalist,
elitist?
While witches plot and evil plan

while witches may be victimized and therefore victimizing...

Trial of Red and White Fire
Centuries ago
In ancient Hermopolis
A debate roared loud
Between a proud Christian priest
And a strange shepherd
Who was a Manichaean
Wearing ragged clothes
And who was looking for sheep
“Flames will consume you”
The priest roared at the shepherd
Because their debate
Was going...

Great Shakespearean Stage
It has been said
by Shakespearean wit
All the world's a stage.
And so it is, I actively and fluidly suppose,
One Great Transitioning Stage

and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too...
