The store had not been here yesterday
shades of candles, books and bell
Drapes were hung from side to side
The windows all were dark
Where was this place a day ago?

Sun-Drenched Safari
The scenery was magnificent, and the morning was slightly hot,
Our land cruiser was windowless, and sitting in a lovely spot.
The giraffes were splendid, and much bigger than I'd expected,
One could hardly gaze at the vast...

Mockingbird - Crown of Sonnets
#1
"It is a sin to kill a Mockingbird.
While playing games with rocks or guns, defray,
them, please, ...shoot old tin cans. Each whispered song
from Mockingbirds, can heal the wounds of the day"
Virtues are...

Dream State Yields Deep Sleep Personifications
Dream state yields deep sleep personifications
Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness
despite being...

A Light At the End of the Tunnel
"What a fine day for a picnic," my friends all said,
In the dog days of summer, with the hot sun overhead.
We would all go for a swim, and then have a fine lunch,
And would return...

Old Man
Silently he sat in darkness, flinching at the sight of light.
Which created a glow reflecting on his balding head.
His cold glare did not help my nerves,
so I simply stood there observing his silence.
His philosopher...

Stimulation: Into the Lane of Lethargic Lamentation

Picturebook Princess
for Keira
We had a special visitor.
Our world became suddenly brighter.
She was such a charmer!
Such a delighter!
With her sparkly diamond slippers
and the way her whole being glows,
Keira’s a picturebook princess
from the points of her...

A Season In the Sun
After swimming at Cherry Beach, I had been returning home,
With some very cool memories, of the sand and green foam.
On the drive back I had resolved, to take the scenic route,
Like the pathway down Magnolia...

Bright Eyes Potd
I so adored late hours. I was what you would call a night owl,
As fireflies seldom appear, until creamy moon is on the prowl.
I loved the quiet and peacefulness, and staring at a big moon,

Parts and Holes
"You are a part of me
I do not yet know"
claims interdependent Valarie Kaur
And I wonder,
Is she speaking to me?
Or rhetorically asking any stranger
except me,
already known
because I feel her same unitarian way
already grown
Ego/Eco-centering balanced
symmetrically integral
as a...

Liberty of Expression Is Here
Why I am here in Poetrysoup?
I like a seed carelessly thrown
upon dirty solid black, brown rocks,
I strive, thrived to grow
despite big rough blocks..
words... phrases... sentences...
They are screaming to be released
or climbing to burst...

Forgotten Entity
I'm breathing like the sun in black horizons,
but internal embers burn in invisible ignorance.
Tired from being constantly raped by life,
I've become ashamed of veiled emotions,
confused between him and her -
am I an oxymoron of feminine masculinity?
There is...

The Rooms he no longer Enters
His soul portrays the eyes of a wolf,
lost without his pack - banished from his territory.
In his deceptive demeanour,
hiding his depressive state - he howls at the moon.
An outcast unable to dream,
he adorns a...

POEMS ABOUT SCIENCE 3: EVOLUTION
Peers
by Michael R. Burch
These thoughts are alien, as through green slime
smeared on some lab tech’s brilliant slide, I grope,
positioning my bright oscilloscope
for better vantage, though I cannot see,
but only peer, as...

Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor
by Michael R. Burch
for Kevin N. Roberts
The sea at night seems
an alembic of dreams—
the moans of the gulls,
the foghorns’ bawlings.
A century late
to be melancholy,
I watch the last shrimp boat as it steams
to safe harbor...

POEMS ABOUT OPHELIA
Ophélie (“Ophelia”)
by Arthur Rimbaud
translation by Michael R. Burch
On pitiless black waves unsinking stars abide
while pale Ophelia, a lethargic lily, drifts by.
Here, tangled in her veils, she floats on the tide.
Far-off, in the woods,...

Interstellar Reverie
Sipping aromatic coffee on my duty break
I glanced beyond the hazy vapors
outside toward the isolated runway;
under moonlit sky giant aircraft at standstill.
Despondent like me they seemed outside,
Inside my zestful mind seemed free,
While I wondered...

A Sliver of Silver
I was an experienced astrologer, for wandering stars held much fascination,
Luring in opal darkness of mystery, like beautiful butterfly transformations.
My days were spent charting pretty planets, alongside of faint, pearly stars,
Interpreting their effects on humans,...

The Platypus, a Double Limerick
These are poems about animals by Michael R. Burch
Double Limerick: The Platypus
by Michael R. Burch
The platypus, myopic,
is ungainly, not erotic.
His feet for bed
are over-webbed,
and what of his proboscis?
The platypus, though, is eager
although his means are...

Cry Ugly
"Cry Ugly"
My deepest private searing pain manifests as "Cry Ugly.”
Guttural moans race like a runaway train. The wail crescendos and peaks as a Banshee scream.
Tears race down my face… my nose leaks... snot and tears...
