Observance
Observance
by Michael R. Burch
Here the hills are old and rolling
carefully in their old age;
on the horizon youthful mountains
bathe themselves in windblown fountains...
By dying leaves and falling raindrops,
I have traced time's starts and stops,
and I have...

What good, the warm...

Sonnets Xvii-Xxiv
Sonnets XVII-XXIV
Discrimination
by Michael R. Burch
The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.

MODERN SONNETS I

Pan

Among the shadows of the groaning elms,
amid the darkening oaks, we fled ourselves
Once there were paths that led to coracles
that clung to piers like loosening barnacles

A packed, complete fashionable style:
Shoes to hats, to crown the French Bob
Of shinny, brunnette tresses above her hazel eyes.
There’d be gauzy blouses...

Deathbeds In the Desert -
The sand is stained red
with our bygone blood,
the blood that brought us from Ararat to the Alti,
a tribe trekking intrepidly through the Eurasian terrain,
caravans of Caucasians clad with Celtic tartan twills
plaids upon the pale horse...

Clans, Ilks and Tartans
Clans, Ilks and Tartans
Woven into threads of red and black,
Girded by grids of white,
Distant plaintive bagpipe memories
Of sunset over Kilmaurs –
A crest that bears a unicorn
Touches royal roots
As a poet’s tribute to a patron lost
Watches...

Fancy
Fancy
Fancy rushes by in silk dancing shoes,
Stars within her steps,
All plumes and feather boas
Leaving clouds of spangles, bits of sparkle,
Floating in the air -
Trails of rainbow ribbons,
Sequins grinning as she passes,
Ignoring glares of mauve...

Put On Her Plaids and Went Right Away
Betty McNee was a curiously well-rounded kid
She sparkled and shone with whatever she did
She took after her grandpop, Jimmy McNee
Scottish and smart, she was joyful with glee.
Your granddad was wonderful the boxers all said.
They were...

Christmas has always been a joyous time
Family getting together for food and wine
Fragrant Smells of balsam and prime rib roast
With warmth of smiles during our family toasts
Colored Christmas lights adorn the perfect tree

Morning After
Race over now:
Blue makes way then,
Red gains somehow,
New mandate hence.
The vote is in:
Flair in odd choice,
A new glyph seen,
Triumph of mad poise.
Wary world sees:
Markets on edge,
Stakes falling free,
On dangling ledge.
Sense the divide:
Mind-boggling stars,
Watch scary slide,
Tattoo...
