the weightless blue of skies
that are not blue
in any atmosphere,
but closest here...

so rarified
the effort leaves...

"5"
benevolence and favour
seemed to be absent
in the world
grace, a name
whispered before
a meal shared
5 fingers
on each hand

signs
in the footprints

Bemused
beMUSEd
by Michael R. Burch
Perhaps at three
you'll come to tea,
to have a cuppa here?
You'll just stop in

I only have a beer.
To name the "greats":

The whole world knows their names.
Discuss the "songs"

Devil's Advocate
Imagine the amount of love
it takes to hate so profoundly.
How hot the "Brutus" kiss must burn
to reduce that bridge to ash.
The most brilliant star.
Grace of the horizon.
Torn down like so many
tawdry Christmas ornaments.
The keeper...

To enlist in the forces to do some good.
They were turned from ordinary men,

With its own page in the annals of history,

April showers coax angelonias

Dusty millers with yellow hues
Elderflowers in a living bouquet
Fairy wigs thrown in the array
Geraniums, a bloody red and
Horned violets, lead down, to the...
