Last Turn of the Morning Carousel Forever Turn the Midnight Carousel Birthday Poem For Merry
Am I just another antiquity
An artist who finds a natural home
Among the paupers whose graves are marked with serial numbers
Instead of headstones?
I hate gimmicks and dismiss them
Like any other moment of mediocrity.
The truth...

The Gallery, Gala, Larry, Part 2
Students their little burning harmonies | you compos’d it
One single gallery | public arras blasé debate re-placed
Sheets just- | cool on clothesline whiskered with wear.
Variousness was it| trusted its core | bayou, brilliant books

Christmas Is Creeping In
Christmas is creeping in.
I’ve seen my first quality street tin.
The John Lewis advert is out
And the motorised reindeers about.
Shop windows glitter and glow,
Ladbrookes give odds on the snow,
The eyes ...

From the Earth's Depths
Written: September 24, 2023
_____________________________________________________________
In the dawn-like haze—a shriek was heard,
An echo so shrewd, yet birdless, oddly slurred
It was ordained by—a stratum unseen,
A throbbing coerce, a numen so keen.
A canticle flower—a bellow coarsely flung,
Through...

Broken Things
From a teen of 18, for the next six years,
my life and time were given to broken men.
Some of that time was also given to the lives
of kids who were the 'would be broken' men

Blood In the Air (Part 1)
Everything glistens
like being sprayed with lacquer,
the rain has stopped,
but clouds
still hide the moon
making the darkness
so complete
that it's hard to tell
where it ends

Death Bids Me Welcome
Death bids me welcome
Into his tended garden
Where quiet plots of bramble clots
House names now long forgotten.
Engravings faded, darkened serifs
Tower over brighter plaques
Sooted over gentleman
Look down on neater blacks.
Beneath Death’s open garden
There nods...

The New Dawn of Man
Their yellow teeth smile, stained a lacquer brown.
We swap greetings, though the format banal.
Actions reveal bedeviled, forced manners - - -
though fear could not goad me to leave, undone.
The wise one approached, glistening black,...

Broken Toys
Once filled with joy and wonder,
Now cracked with blood and powder,
Yet molded by ceramic lava with no ocean lover,
Laced by unfiltered poison with no filtered antidote,
While punching bag pulses raced through the steamy ridges.
The village...

Bertolt Brecht Holocaust Poem: the Mask of Evil
Die Maske des Bösen (“The Mask of Evil”)
by Bertolt Brecht
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
A Japanese woodcarving hangs on my wall—
the mask of an ancient demon, limned with golden lacquer.

the forehead’s bulging...

To Heal With Gold
To heal with gold
By Michelle Morris
08/12/2022
I felt your brokenness
When you came near
Your light had flickered
And died a little
The death of a child
Is the Universe's pain
For each little soul
Means more heartbreak
I sit next to you
Give you...

The Elephant In the Room
3 polished oak fans,
Swirling in robotic unison
High maintenance socialites,
Sipping on Merlot fallacies
Lemon yellow coated walls,
Flat,
Like their smiles
Comparisons of dangling Porsche & Bentley keys
A glorified day care center,
Pacifiers included
The muted virtuosos speak softly in hymn dialects.
Courtesy...

The Mid Autumn Festival
Night falls and the mirror moon illumes the
heavenly starry skies with gleaming ivory beams.
Shiny and mellow, a splendrous silver orb,
the delight of the night sky!
It is the evening of the 15th,...

I Found a Knife In the Desert
I Found a Knife in the Desert
Folks chucked trash in the desert for 10,000 years.
The knife, perhaps not dumped, but lost?
The blade, seven inches long, years encrusted
with winter desert mud, hardened by summer desert sun.

Infant Spring Fervour
Dewdrops stream down boisterous
children’s freckle-strewn mischievous dials,
as they dash in cartoon costume faux denim
apparel amidst the pale yellow sunlight glare.
Marble stone button twiddle on a blue
rinse wrinkle t-shirt,
Sumptuous ice cream raspberry blobs
tantalise the...

A Big Mistake I'Ve Lived Happily Ever After

A Beast from a Forgotten Land
In the jungle's heart, where shadows and spirits blend,
A silent hunter, a forest's friend.
Stripes of amber, black and gold,
The tale of power, courage and bold.
Its eyes burn bright, flaming hue,
Reflecting the skies of cerulean blue.
Its...

Moon River Child
to sneak outside,
into the gentle beauty of evening
when all others are asleep,
except for nocturnal hawks like me,
I wander along the river's shore,
in the twirling, dappled
prism of waves, pebbles and buds,
thrown across the grass
by the...
