Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch

when the last rose is left
inconsolably bereft,
rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,

somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,

expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,
