THE WITCHES BALL
The witches ball,
Halloween is drawing near
As the leaves begin to fall,
They`re flying in from everywhere
For the annual witches ball.
Toothless hags from north to south
And crones from west to east,
They gather on all hallows eve
To share...

Sun Poem
Sun Poem
by Michael R. Burch
I have suffused myself in poetry
as a lizard basks, soaking up sun,
scales nakedly glinting; its glorious light
he understands—when it comes, it comes.
A flood of light leaches down to his bones,
his feral...

9-11 Halloween
Mist, Mist..
Why not whisper, why not speak?
When upon thy shrouded depths,
Thou knowest truly, what we seek
Darkness, Darkness
Why be quiet, why not be shrill?
When your hoot and squeal and growls,
Shivers our spine, with unbidden thrill
Cat, Cat

Good Ol' Rex
He heard the car and came running,
Jumped and whirled in the air,
Barking his happiness!
Dad lifted her down in her yellow-flowered
Camisole and high heeled shoes.
The dog dropped,
His hind quarters hunched down,
Body sprung parallel...

A Haircut Dilemma
I remember back a year or two when waiting for the barber’s chair,
where Bill Crosbie snipped around the heads, relieving excess hair,
and Bill’s as typical a barber that you’re ever deemed to meet.
He liked to...

Overcome
My mind is full of stolen dreams
And nothing is quite what it seems
When everything bursts at the seams
And we become separate teams
But life is here in your hands
Billions of lives like grains of sand
It's so...

We’d been fishing in the Shady for some crays up in the hills,
where you fight the blackberry and elude the snake with skills,
were leeches have the power of near sucking all your blood,

Human Wreckage (Part 3)
I can’t walk out on this feeling,
Cigarette burns phantom-project onto
The backs of my hands like leprosy,
Hackles rise on the nape of my neck,
Ghostly pliers wrench my fingernails out,
Dripping protoplasm, blood and...

My Daddy knew he had lost by the...

Before the Moon
in the chilling crisp night
with out a stirring trace of breeze
tingling fear of unseen eyes
as my hackles begin to rise
Ebony skies with bright jewels scattered
pinpricks of rain bowls that quickly glitter
pale moon like watching eye
baleful...

It Slithered
It Slithered
By Linda Hays-Gibbs
Darkness caressed it. I heard it before
I saw a piece of it, a bit?
Black & shinny
But so, so cold
It froze the air
my thoughts said it Exquisitely tiny but
It was unafraid,...

No More Cheese
No more cheese!

Poetry Soup Honorable Mentioned.

Saw my doctor the other day.
Was a routine appointment I say.
Well was for me as I’m unwell.
Better than saying as sick as hell.
Another tablet I...

Part-Time Poet
A part-time poet's destined to be plagued by pressure
The press of time, the pulse of work, vanished years
Barely a moment to reflect, swirling phrases unmeasured
Envisioning the thrill -- pondering ideas at...

Beneath a Dire Moon
The moon hovers there, shining aloft,
its form the infamous crescent,
its glow so luminous as to reveal the rest of the orb,
oft-hidden when its time in the sky is not nigh.
Underneath, a fog coats the cold...

Havoc At Halloween
Blackie mounts my broomstick every Halloween
With her silky coat and eyes of emerald green
We’re silhouetted in the moonbeam's gleam
Kitty meows so loudly if ever we are seen
Children point at us and let out a scream

What has woken you, Gunner? What is it you hear?
Can you sense the beat of heavy engines drawing near?

Correctness
The incongruity sparkles, dirty diamonds in a drain,
With hackles rising, lips drawn back, in lemon peeling pain;
A psychodrama stage of sleight springboards the stupid head,
“I know,” she thinks, “I’m always right, I know that’s what...

Canaries In a Mine
Kisses from insolvent grave,
Stole the dying breath away
So dizzyingly fast,
It escaped as fleeting vapour;
The hackles bristled, raised,
Clouds of ink on sunny days,
As scratching quills engraved
Upon white paper
Who among the sprawl could feel
If it was...
