Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch
Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...
What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?
Only a...

Without You
I was just 15, 15 would have just been 15 if 15
was without you.
You, were a lonely butterfly gliding among
the empty meadow.
We first met as kids in church,
the corridor at the end of the...

Jack, Dare to Believe
Jack Allen was a serious, shy schoolboy, who worked hard at school lessons;
Like mottled skies working hard each day, to convey many color obsessions.
Jack was a little small for his age, and had begun to...

A Warm Summers Day
After many years I paid a rare visit to the woods from my long ago childhood days,
Things have changed since boyhood, the bees are silent, the landscape has changed,
Gone, honey-laden scented flowers of the old...

Because Her Heart Is Tender
Because Her Heart Is Tender, for Beth
by Michael R. Burch
She scrawled soft words in soap: “Never Forget”
dove-white on her car’s window (though the wren,
because its heart is tender, might regret
it called the sun to...

A Robin and her Nest

I Am the Artist of My Life
I Am The Artist Of My Life
Aloft the hills I sit
The world behind
The clear sky above
I, my master,
And my soulful thoughts
Reaching nothingness.
So what is this life all about?
I continued my journey
To reach my snowy summit...

Into the Woods
I stand neck-high tall
within the quicksand
of my infirmities.
Green and gaunt,
I hesitantly genuflect.
Ravaged tendons and corpuscles
are barely breathing
within the vacant corridors
of a soiled carcass.
My ardor for vindication
has been abandoned.
I presently refrain from accepting
the consultation of
umbrous...

A Common Story
Dark into its den submissively shrinking
Twinkle came in triumphantly invading
Long waited glister the world tendering
There comes at last the blissful morning
The big tree just in front so far sleeping
With melodious sounds now pullulating
Joining the...

One Cold Morning and Me
This morning
So cold , I feel I don't
want a wash O gush! from
my oxblood painted balcony
I stood and heard three red cocks
trumpeting like she come with a luggage
of ice? Yeeh! I could fill...

Happy Halloween?
A downy feather slowly drifted...down
and gently settled upon the ground.
Full on, an innocent bird was struck
by an Amazon delivery truck...
whose driver, high on crystal meth, was wired,
yet, on this thirty-hour shift, was...

When the snout of lush abundance is full and flowing,
when all prey and creature-kind spill upon the verdant swards,
then it is that I worry night and day,
for the stoat, fox and hawk are at work,

When Summer Has Gone

yet there is a beauty in decay"

Peaceful Moments
I sit on my stoop and survey my domain.
Can't think of a reason I have to complain.
The fuchsia is thirsty. I give it a squirt,
And some for the dahlia, it truly can't hurt.
My roses are...

To the Greatest of All Beings
Dear lord,
I write this letter short,
A psalm from my heart,
To cherish what thy have passed
A gratitude for thy works.
Forgive me, my lord
For when I have faltered,
The days I spent in...

Heavens
It has been low, dim, and heavy,
heavens part, light swoops onto open waters,
the overflow of recent torrents
glittering sky-fish skim.
Keep on driving as if the road were silver rails.
Right and left window worlds out of...

The Great Pyramid of Giza
In the land titled the Gift of the Nile,
where pharaohs rode in gilded chariots,
149 feet she elegantly stands,
in the sandy plains of Giza
For decades long gone,
shes taken the crown;
"the tallest master piece of man's hand"

Blooms 2
Flowers in a vase
Gifts of nature's bounty;
Fragrant beauty adorns
~~~~~~~~~
Lizards stride
Wall to ceiling;
Snacking stray insects
~~~~~~~~~
Gold fish bowl
Swimming jewels;
Watery perfection
~~~~~~~~~
Glass of wine
Fragrant red tint;
Nature's own vigour
~~~~~~~~~
Idyllic vineyards
Land stretching far;
Grapes for the wine press
~~~~~~~~~
Stray flowers dance
Wind blown wayside;
Grass...

Prognostication
Most rigorous astrology can hardly divine
Why flamy galactic orbs often burning fall;
Or the calm pull behind shiniest meteorites'
Hurtling lower from their neat nestlings tall.

Of all the vile and wild creatures

Man is the vilest and wildest.

Armed with a machete or a gun or a grenade
And knock down...

Pickings
When the green snout is full
rabbits spill on the lawn.
I worry night and day,
because the stoats and the Red Tails
are at work
even in whelm and nimiety
they hack and harrow.
The young kits are many,
the sun too...
