BeckoningBeckoning
by Michael R. Burch
Yesterday the wind whispered my name
while the blazing locks
of her rampant mane
lay heavy on mine.

I saw the way
the wind caressed tall pines
in forests laced by glinting streams
and thick with...

Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced

Inhabiting shadowy chambers,
Behind nodding sighs and hushed
Whispers,

Lijiang In Yunnan, ChinaSPRINGTIME MEMORIES
Mountain sentinels
By ancient town;
Clear waters cascade
Cobblestone streets
Winding pavements;
Trade offerings buzz
Fertile plains
Crystal clear waters;
Shady trees guard
Treasure-hunting stroll...
Through Lijiang Old Town;
Curiosity detours
So many things to see
Pleasant fare tempting;
Buying spree bargains
Artisans at work
Township flings open trade;
Silver metal...

Like staunch sentinels they stand
Around a center speaker, a white-haired man
With microphone poised and voice steady
To speak of a vote and not being ready.

DefensesThese are poems about war and defenses.
Defenses
by Michael R. Burch
Beyond the silhouettes of trees
stark, naked and defenseless
there stand long rows of sentinels:
these pert white picket fences.
Now whom they guard and how they guard,
the good Lord...

You pass their doors -
Their darkened, dusty, empty hearths -
Before the dawn ascends -
Before the pipes awaken;
Carry close
Precious flint and tinder
Next to the wildly...

It is becoming the season of death, and mother natures promise
Of rebirth is with drawing, leaving nothing behind but stilled
Whispering echoes.

The Ghost WhisperIn the night I’ve heard them whispering,
Echoing voices carried upon the breezes of the softened

Chilling breathes stinging and biting, at...
