Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch

so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only a...

Myth
by Michael R. Burch
after the sprung rhythm of Dylan Thomas
Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and...

Radiance, For Dylan Thomas
Radiance
by Michael R. Burch
for Dylan Thomas
The poet delves earth’s detritus—hard toil—
for raw-edged nouns, barbed verbs, vowels’ lush bouquet;
each syllable his pen excretes—dense soil,
dark images impacted, rooted clay.
The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—
the...

Myth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch
Here the recalcitrant wind

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots V
Spawned from the loins that
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When...

In the crisp fall air
In a shower of gold and red.
Love showed me the print
Of a doe’s foot
And where she made her bed.
Love sat...

I was an accomplished librarian, who took pleasure from written words,
As opera singers find their pleasure, in the halls where music is heard.
I was well matched to such absorbing work, knowing it was worthwhile,
Like stars...

Can We Feel Music
Can We “Feel” Music?
By Carol Geyer
Can we “feel” music? Can the notes cool or warm us?
Soothing like green aloe balm, or warm as flaming Yule logs,
or as majestic as a fully leafed oak?

The Magnus Effect
"The Magnus Effect"
A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read
translated glamorously from rock bed,
both with glee and dread, there sits

Grandma Aesop's Apples - Finale
Grandmother pointed out warning signs on the apples.
Her strong voice resonated as she referenced bruises and marks.
Her wrinkled hands brushed over minute holes and obvious incisions.
She clutched the apples in her weather-worn palms

I Always Will...Rodger
Such an interesting color, Rodger -
Green - like our mysterious calico eyes?
Yes?
You?
An idiot savant submits
into me - a blooming
garden of emerald delights? Like our
first encounter - regulated and raw (green).
Drawing our hunter-hued
curtains closed and tittering

In waiting for you, my love, the seasons have snowed in black and white

Another Cock and Bull Story
The highest and best purpose
of cocks and bulls
is to ejaculate
a strong natural and spiritual warm
wet vision flow
transparently cuming
into a spiritual and natural swarm
wet throbbing receptor
vulnerably naked milking
sucking and releasing
waves of wanton,
yet sacredly inviting, place,
home,
Some divinely...

Sorry I ignored your cries and pretended I didn't hear them, though they were all
what was ringing in my ears
