Picturebook Princess
for Keira
We had a special visitor.
Our world became suddenly brighter.

Such a delighter!
With her sparkly diamond slippers
and the way her whole being glows,
Keira’s a picturebook princess
from the points of her...

Poems about Science 3: Evolution
POEMS ABOUT SCIENCE 3: EVOLUTION
Peers
by Michael R. Burch
These thoughts are alien, as through green slime
smeared on some lab tech’s brilliant slide, I grope,
positioning my bright oscilloscope
for better vantage, though I cannot see,
but only peer, as...

The Platypus, a Double Limerick
These are poems about animals by Michael R. Burch
Double Limerick: The Platypus
by Michael R. Burch
The platypus, myopic,
is ungainly, not erotic.
His feet for bed
are over-webbed,
and what of his proboscis?
The platypus, though, is eager
although his means are...

Ebb Tide
Massive, gray, these leaden waves
bear their unchanging burden—
the sameness of each day to day
while the wind seems to struggle to say
something half-submerged planks at the mouth of the bay
might nuzzle limp seaweed to understand.
Now collapsing...

Switch
Eventually, you get used to it:
Every time you walk into a room
And all eyes turn to glare at your noticeable difference.
They can’t help but gasp and raise their
Hands to cover their mouth
As if I wouldn’t...

Lost
11/9/21
If I crossed the line
Then I apologize
Almost lost my mind
A lot of times
Mental and physical battles being fought
Still lost
Smoking pot
And drinking lots
Another day and night went by, I forgot
What I wrote and did before the...

Offspring Pt 2
Given the worst of all your fears
You've come so far to see me squirm
As a group I spoke to
You never learned from the times before
I suppose its time to live up to my reputation

Cast Me Down
Cast me down where the devil won’t go
Send me farther than damnation
What would I have to fear?

Send me farther than damnation
Beyond the lapping flames
I’ve been there before
This darker realm

Lying Mirror
Looking herself in the mirror.
She is not thin, air brushed, or photoshopped
Magazines show real beauty
She cries at what she will never be.
She sees a frumpy, average girl.
She is young, vibrant, sweet-

A coin gawks at a grand big note - 2
But tell my friend, you must have moved a lot.
Oh sure, I’ve been in a constant journey:
To a beggar for a few biscuits bought,
With a child thrilled as if with a trophy,
On pilgrimage, or in...

While the World Reveled
And he stands apart, cold
While the world wassailed and reveled
In the full glare of the light
Till dusk comes beckoning.
He shrouds from the awkward embraces
A language in plethoric display.
His frame slanted, he observes.
From vantage angle,...

Let's Go To the Beach
With a suit made of paper and strings,
Try you might, you’re not hiding a thing.
Though you tug it around,
Still the gawks from that brute!
With your hand in pursuit.
Of the string of your suit.
Let’s go to...

A Depressive's World
I want to share
A story to the world
About where
And who is this girl
This girl with velvet Locks
Veiling such picturesque gaze
That just gawks
Out at the nebulous and ominous maze
This maze of complexion
Of the world’s splendour
And affection

Whispering Leaves
Autumn brings leaves in multifarious hues,
Time's flow quickly readies us for winter's blow.
Fun days on our patios will soon turn to blues,
As it takes its leisure neath a blanket of snow.
The Sycamores have shed like...

Modern Days Psalm 23

He shows me great horizons

He allows a floral archway entrance
To ascend joyous scent unto heaven
Even when the inspector

A coin gawks at a grand big note - 1
Last night I dreamt I was one-rupee coin
Who met a two-thousand rupee crisp note
In a rich man’s pocket, looking so keen
At the exalted worthy of my vote.
The note asked: you find anything funny?
No, but you...

Eb's Flo
In a passion of fashion, at the height's
of female pulchritude; try as she might,
Wobbling to walk on five inch stilletos;
All she got were awkward gawks from the fellows.
So not a cat but board walk by...

Putting On a Show For Puss
Little bird you sound so sweet
Intriguing kitty at my feet
In treetop dawn you soar so high
Tracing bright patterns in the sky
The cat is wary of your flight
Within the ebbing of the night
He jumps the window...
