Premium Member The Muse, In My Quill

The Muse, In My Quill  

I hadn't realized my penning going on 
Before the ink ran dry of my Quill. 
If I had just started with my array, 
For these words that I had written. 

May have been on some other penned display.

I assure you, though, that you are the muse,  
For today in this world that has become confusing.
Was it a destined write to be, 
The story told of a sea of words still in my Quill, in me?

If these words hadn't come when they did,
Jotting down everything rolling through the Quill 
Of my pen so swiftly amid.

I can't give up too soon in my quest just yet,
For the display, that I had arrayed, 
Of these words that come to display, 
I write, that might take me today to the Gazette.

Apparition


It’s 25° C clear
but she’s gone.
The outlines of her shadow, hoping
that they’ll have a chance of putting them into use
in the fashion world.
 
She wears a black, backless dress
with a plunging front.
The soft contours of her breasts are revealed
through the mirrors on the walls.
 
On the front page a gazette
 her cat walk
 rushing down to the battle.
Here, you’re making the neighbours squirm.
Here, you’re making their claymores shriek their hatred.  
That’s why your body sags against the bar in fatigue.
 
You’re trying to remember your voice.
Remember, your phone rings again.
It’s a voice you’ve heard,
that incandescent panic spread through the hall.
 
They’re marrying her.
They’re scarifying her for their day’s events.
You’ve made me interested in how she’s thinking
& you can’t control this with your beard.
Your gaffe is all there.
You gaze with gratitude.

Premium Member It Is To Be

the choir chimed in 
a chorus of rebuke 
or stones we'd hurl
abusing the adulteress's skin 
shoot your pocket rocks 
passing judgment comes down 
like diluvial rains splashing
gory-red upon your frocks 

it was to be...  

her luggage, some water-jars
Samaritan's soles cooked &
cured by partiality &
cancel culture, burying stars 
Desert Rose Parchment Gazette 
circulated the dame's tragedies 
watering-hole purists rebuffed her
like Hester of Scarlet 

it was to be... 

but five (4+1) days late 
the state of death 
arose, rank and proud  
with results beyond debate 
Brother Lazarus' fate sealed 
in the tacit tombs
there for the world 
and his women appealed 

none was to be 
ne'er was to be  

Oh, Creator of Earth,
& Heavens outweighs the 
chains of men's destinies 
enters seas of dearth 
that i should gain 
Your cherubic fiddling surceased:
extemporizing treatises in sands
divining springs quenching pain 
How impossibly the author
of Tomorrow and hero
of souls and spine 
of faith, the purveyor
of Paradise and mercy
of the made, despoils
death's feats & fervor.
Selah. Let it be.

A Disregard For Precious Life

I light up another cigarette,
its smoke turns into puffs...
then they form small clouds':
a skeleton drawn in the gazette.

It's a disregard for this precious life,
consider myself worthless and grab a knife;
but surviving is the blessing I don't deserve,
because not having faith is a moralistic issue.

Absent is the mind absorbing its harmful content.
I whisper " They told me you only live once, then I might
as well disregard it and enjoy another peaceful moment. "
Even Paul was reminded all his life with this threat!

My teeth are getting yellow, not bright;
my breath stinks, folks avoid me.
I used Colgate, it doesn't help a bit,
a priest goes by and scolds me!

It's a disregard for precious life,
it's a misery not to have a wife;
not to kiss her and say good night,
I blame myself for this self-plight!

I spot a guy smoking and talking to himself,
should I forget that I once was that guy?
A sign says, " Help Me. " I stare at him and laugh,
" Buddy, quit smoking and don't turn up like me. "

Personal Productivity Measured Courtesy

Personal productivity measured courtesy...

Unspecified number of hours spent
yesterday March 6th, 2021
reading (cover to cover) Pennsylvania Gazette
March/April 2021 issue.

Proud papa highly regards eldest daughter,
University of Pennsylvania alum
as academic whip smart high achiever,
she did (after quite a stretch of time
after graduating) become
self supporting earning hand over fist money

as yours truly
(her biological father) feels glum,
cuz I would qualify
mine existence as humdrum
hence quite envious at well deserved income,

which exact dollar figure I will remain mum
yet if privy being financially,
what me worry would become obsolete
mine mental would find me comfortably numb
livingsocial in splendour
versus dwelling in slum

bring (think dirt poor -
according to youngest sister)
whereby financial shortcoming exacerbates
predilection toward anxiety
with distress squarely within tum.

Back during mine salad days
earlier within mein kampf
precious time squandered away
this doubting thomas
grabbing life by figurative horns,
his outlook toward future
did excel at procrastination,

a pointedly powerful stance did delay
ambivalence toward purposefulness
hit me courtesy metaphorical
ton of bricks, now at threescore earth orbits
around the sun absorb shock
while grizzled and gray

recognizing when sober
upon post drinking up lackadaisical indifference
feigning to care not a whit,
I allude to johnny come lately self actualization
analogous to confronting judgement-day
resigned to gather wilted, shriveled, matted

rosebuds while I may
experience e'en just fleeting aliveness,
thus yours truly doth pray
to dance (why I'll) while
these spindleshanks sashay
into Elysian Fields
exorcising atrophied muscles oy vey!

Righteous

Righteous
by Michael R. Burch

Come to me tonight
in the twilight, O, and the full moon rising,
spectral and ancient, will mutter a prayer.

Gather your hair
and pin it up, knowing
that I will release it a moment anon.

We are not one,
nor is there a scripture
to sanctify nights you might spend in my arms,

but the swarms
of bright stars revolving above us
revel tonight, the most ardent of lovers.

Forest Glade

         Twig twists intersect then spread victory
         Receptors sprout cat waving paws
         Fold fruit bowl foliage, branch tributary 
         Lump eye timber columns support

 
         Steer me clear of thatch caged cluster
         Cheerleader twirling ribbons sizzle
         Shifted to soft focus forest, fairy dusted
         In drifting dandelion seed celestial 
         
         
          Thrown down overlap of toasty tobacco
          Crinkle constant joke cracked faces 
          Humour grants razor slim grasses tackle
          Unused nests during seasons' phases
          
   
          Basket interweave splice strap sun poke
          Probes timid shade a radiating halo
          Lathered limbs in blossom shampoo soak
          Crown me neath ghostly citrine glow

 
          Sombre trots towards her restful rotunda 
          Floating pollen fluff Snugglepot ego
          Fingers spring flags of woodland wonder 
          Grip ant gazette trail to safe gazebo

Premium Member Small Town Hero

Smalltown, USA, was shattered with fateful news this morning.
Sadly, one of their own is gone - the town as one is mourning.
The town had planned a parade to honor their soldier brave.
Alas, the doleful sound of "Taps" now echoed o'er his grave.

He was an impish little fellow and teased the neighbor's cat,
And pulled the girl's braids, but he was an ace with ball and bat!
Folks relied on him to deliver the Gazette each and every day,
To enjoy with that first cup of coffee, with never any delay!

When not upon the friendly field of strife as an athletic star,
He could be found 'neath the elm, tinkering with his car.
With his folks he faithfully attended Church and Sunday School,
And later taught his own class, espousing the Golden Rule.

In the classroom on any subject he always did excel.
A handsome lad, he touched the heart of many an admiring belle!
He refused scholarships to college with the manly observation:
"To serve my country, I feel, is my solemn obligation!"

As the bagpipes played that venerable old air, "Amazing Grace",
Mother received the folded flag and held it in reverent embrace.
Tho' his brave parents were filled with untold grief and pain,
They know their son gave his all for our liberties to sustain!
