Starting From Scratch With Ol' Scratch

Starting from Scratch with Ol’ Scratch
by Michael R. Burch

Love, with a small, fatalistic sigh
went to the ovens. Please don’t bother to cry.
You could have saved her, but you were all tied up
complaining about the Jews to Reichmeister Grupp.

Scratch that. You were born after World War II.
You had something more important to do:
while the children of the Nakba were perishing in Gaza
with the complicity of your government, you had a noble cause (a
religious tract against homosexual marriage
and various things gods and evangelists disparage.)

Jesus will grok you? Ah, yes, I’m quite sure
that your intentions were good and ineluctably pure.
After all, what the hell does he care about Palestinians?
Certainly, Christians were right about serfs, slaves and Indians.
Scratch that. You’re one of the Devil’s minions.


Pleasingly Plump Praiseworthy Princesses

(a quid pro quo plug for zaftig women)

women that tip weigh ling needle to spin vicious circle
     akin to puppy chasing her/his tail
     or require digital scale,
at the extreme alt right registering heavy 
     ba Jill 'en Jack knifed pail loads   
     whether young or old ought to be appreciated

     not waifer thin self starved as a rail,
instead they suffer unfair injustice
     like a trapped quivering quail
thus this fatalistic, generic,
     and holistic landlubber
     wanted to point head lee 
     hammer home one secure
     heterosexual bondage stronger than

     omnipotent Marcy's Playground
     weather beaten pail
     Trent Reznor's sixty 9 inch rust free steel nail
into the coffin of bias
     against bevy of beautiful babes
     within the mind of this male,
who inherited genetic predisposition
     for being average, hearty and hale

yet feel compassion for those engaged
     in an ongoing with battle of the bulge,
     hmm... perhaps hiding ample bosom
     akin to milky sopping wet grail
or accepted unequivocally themselves
     without envy of lithesome women,
     who seem to possess flair with nary a flail
     yet possess much love to avail,

and tis wise to love oneself unconditionally
     despite premium aesthetics considered svelte
which mass media accentuates de facto spelt
definition of femininity aka runway models
     donned in faux animal pelt
whose deliberate self exhibition
     prompts madding crowd of man

     to waggle tongue with slack jaws  
     as if ready to melt
or at instantaneous signal telepathically felt
drop drawers upon removing blackbelt.

Premium Member Ophelia: the Evergreen Heroine of Shakespearean Tragedy

The quintessential of nyctophilia, wrapped in bridal attire, slowly and slowly as in somnambulism there goes the heroine of timeless tragedy to supersede her lovers feigned insanity.

Her beloved father is no more, being killed by her suitor's intrigued tyranny;
ignored to be drowned, to burn in the flame of plotted felony.

Jilted, to be startled by the selcouth performance of her handsome wooer's vile strategy;
there goes the most beautiful heroine ever to be the victim of fated irony,
immersed in senseless lunacy, to vanish from the sight of Hamlet's fatalistic eyes to bid adieu to the agony,
slowly and slowly to be disappeared into melancholic darkness from the dazzling maniac opaque sight;
there goes the  Danish heroine of evergreen tragedy.

Edge of Darkness

“My soul is a black maelstrom…” ~ Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet.

Molten lava spews from my eyes
My mouth feels dry as the scorching desert sand
Fear like a heavy boulder sits on my chest 
My heart is chasing a Chimera 
A pit is forming in my stomach,
My head is riding upon a vortex
Conflicting thoughts swirling through my mind
forming a surrealistic whirlpool,
Grim and gloomy feelings shroud my being
permeating a fatalistic suspicion of society at large
dragging me down the road to depression.

A sense of emptiness is mushrooming within me,
like the morning miasma blurring the view,
All hands of hope have been withdrawn
Every moment henceforth 
is pregnant with some novel challenges,
Tackling a new task overwhelms me
and despair prevails over my soul undeterred —  
Bogged down by fate, 
Tethered to my faith, 
and mired in a spiritual quagmire
I am unable to claw my way back up
to Mount Calvary.

Jabbering Ignominious Hypocrite Gabbles - against the backdrop of gross unbridled viscous wracking zealotry bruiting extinguishing inherent national trust...  

Poetic Introduction:

I wax and wane rhapsodic
plus prosaically politic
aware severe erosion
of American democracy

over run by narcissistic
over stuffed ego-freezer,
whose vocabulary
extremely laconic

foe swash buckling braggadocio
commander in chief
not gun shy
to brandish (hugely

bully like) jingoistic
tirade unleashing horrific
banshees more'n 10, 000
foo fighting maniacs

(nemesis of liberty) fatalistic
to sanctity of
United States democracy
throw back at him bigly,

his woeful treachery, 
quasi xenophobic, tragic, 
and lunatic bred anarchy!

Each ticking second of every single day, the pensive, doughy face execrably debased “dunderhead” criminal commander in chief (trumpeting acrimonious, calumnious, egregious...yakking), while donned in gay apparel) trumpeting lunatic, jingoistic, ideology imbues heretic catalysts. 

Thou art unduly seething, quaking, and oozing mercurial kindling ideological glommed ethos of mine. These atrocious blaspheming, castigating, denigrating, excoriating, fulminating gross humiliations imply jerkiness, kookiness, lunacy. 

No! Not for one more term can this acidulous, indecorous Mandates need outspoken politicians quickly removing this utterly vile wicked Xerses. 

Thus spoke Zarathustra (without blandishment) to me, a gluten and monosodiumglutinate free, NON-GMO non-alarmist, nonestablishmentarian, nor ham aye a nihilist.


Premium Member We're Still Here

...en l'an soixante-dix de mon age...

All the familiar names from our youth
now belong to aged, unfamiliar faces.
Even my own reflection startles
as I pass the mirror
hanging in the hall.
Suddenly, we are old.
And, although taken by surprise,
we must accommodate reality --
perhaps convince ourselves
how lucky we survivors are --
how much better that we wear
these flaccid faces, these worn-out bodies,
these aids and apparatuses,
than to have ended
while in almost-mint condition.
But these are mere macabre,
septuagenarian musings.
So, let's forget all that!
Turn up the music
and hear us murmur,
in weakly mordant, fatalistic,
untriumphant chorus:
"We're still here!"

Premium Member Whacky in a Whacked Outland

Flim flam artists con like hackers 
From the digital underworld 
Scammers. Modern Thieves  
Taking advantage of not just 
Little ol’ ladies, but Me!
And the vulnerable gullible glue 
That holds our species together 
Shame on you! I cast you, you know who you are 
who entertain time with waste 
With the spoils of others 
Internet Idiocracy is not a democracy 
You, gangsters of greed 
With the shameless need 
To make others bleed 
For your sins
I'm a $1,000 in the hole, you poor soul 
I cast you 
Into a special spot, the Deepest Hole
In Hell 
That only one spell can break 
You free 
Give up your riches 
Give up your chaotic chores 
Give in to Jesus 
He is the only Door 
For any redemption 
You fools! 

Not tHe ENd 

Am I whacked out, or what? 
To actually believe 
And actually, have high hopes 
That someday human beings 
Will just FOCUS their attention 
And unite under one Earth flag 
To hold up high with human half-baked intentions 
Even with a modicum of enlightenment 
Accomplish the Unimaginable end 
Peace it all together and 
Free the human spirit not by the Bomb
But by giving, each person their voice 
Acknowledge the uniqueness that spawns genius 
Education is everything. Never stop learning ... 
Be allowed to express, even darklike King’s 
Freed to believe, to hope, even grope or cling 
For a better future for our grandchildren 
Will it be a legacy of Liberty, or loss? 

Am I a whacked out global goliath? 
Or what!? 
Child of God 
Damn right I stand up 
With my brothers and sisters 
Against oppression, tyranny 
And fatalistic foes 
Hand in hand, with the sWORD of Christ 
His piece ploys me to reveal 

Something whacky 

So, come join me at the outer edges of the Greens 
Where dandelions and roses grow
Side by side, row by row
Stitching the seams of the Universe together
Come gets some whacky Taffy while it lasts 
Off to the whacked-out Lands for Peace 
Keep on sippin’ some poetrysoup 
Where my whacky wisdom 
Is the latest scoop
If not mine, then yours, you nincompoop 

Let's get whacky in a Whackyland! 
Let’s gets soupy in a poetrysoup land! 
Let’s be friendly in a Friendland! 

So, Keep on Sharing! 
                                even if it’s a little whacky ...

Giant

Now I am quite realistic
Never ever fatalistic
Fantasy never tickled my fancy
So you can understand my surprise
From their daunting size
On the streets of New York
My air left me as if released by a cork
For before me shaped like giant potatoes
Were ten gigantic too big toes
Human in everything but weight
Any want for fainting this can sate
Did I faint? I’m not sure
A want to run this did procure
But connected to these toes
I found their much mightier foes
I beheld feet
Which smell is no treat
I suddenly felt the urge to run
For what was in front of me could block out the sun
Upon the feet were legs
On those legs a fat belly
The deodorant was very cheap and smelly
In awe I looked up more
They wore a jersey with the number four
Their arms could hold sky scrapers each
Humility to all the muscles could teach
And on their head they had a fashioned mullet
The hair spray could stop a bullet
They had fingers that could carve a valley
Which would never fit in any New York alley
The giant chuckled and skipped
And a bow they dipped
To a giant almost completely alike
Who was inspecting a shop window’s intricate bike
The new comer was female
But description is mostly the same tale
She was well dressed
And a laugh she did suppress
As the male stumbled after his bow
Then he joined arm to arm to her allow
And walked on
On to where there was no concrete to trod upon
