Dot Spotted
by Michael R. Burch
There once was a leopardess, Dot,
who indignantly answered: "I’ll not!
The gents are impressed
with the way that I’m dressed.
I wouldn’t change even one spot!"

Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor

her riotous petals

ignoring the lethal
nettles

May

till a sudden June

leave us out of tune,
torn,
when the last rose is left
inconsolably bereft,
rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

VacuumVacuum

that once intrigued us so.
Come then, let us...

Roses and LilacsWinter

companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

There is a small cleanness about her,
as though she has always just been washed,

in her accommodating slenderness
as she feints at her salad.
