Lady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch
May

her riotous petals

ignoring the lethal
nettles

rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

Poems about Adam, Eve, Lucifer
Eden
by Michael R. Burch
Then earth was heaven too, a perfect garden.
Apples burgeoned and shone, unplucked on sagging boughs.
What, then, would the children eat?

companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

Discrimination

The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.

A stranger walked into the town.

His weary eyes fixed on the ground.
The streets lay still, the lamps burned low,
Behind locked doors,...

The wind of time wobbled me,
My heart quivered in fear.
My tree has lost its roots,
My flowers of hope withered,

My passion was becoming faint,
And my mind in total turmoil.
I looked towards the...
