Long Serge Poems

Nucleotidings
by Michael R. Burch

“We will walk taller!” said Gupta,
sorta abrupta,
hand-in-hand with his mom,
eyeing the A-bomb.

“Who needs a mahatma
in the aftermath of NAFTA?
Now, that was a disaster,”
cried glib Punjab.

“After Y2k,
time will spin out of control anyway,”

SOLUTIONIST:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
VERSE 1:
Drenched soul placed on a bench,
Avengers revenging not ready to repent;
Edge of grudges they always entrench,
Dreading of fate, that's what they depend.
Trends and hypes risen from their wrench;
Pitching and hitching...

Europe was frozen in a tide of hate
The genius Jew was being persecuted
Bound to the intransigence of fate
His violin played the tunes they executed
Now it was time to think as they electrocuted
The hopes of young...

A Tear for Don

I still shed a tear over you, Don,
I wish you were still here, alive.
Remember the day we first met, Don,
A pair of young schoolboys aged five?

Remember how we were like brothers, Don?

I couldn’t sleep last night
These times had me feeling not right
There were images swirling round 
And try as I might I couldn’t shake being down

So I walked around the town 
Finding no solace in what...

Captain Meridee was the ultimate pirate queen 
She was confident, but not in any way mean.
We caught her relaxing in the fierce island sun.
She said she would give us an hour, but only one.

How did...

Fading flowers lie scattered on the ground
Scythed down by deadly horizontal hail
The long, short, and tall fall without a sound
Relentless dawn’s bright light begins to fail
As noxious clouds of gas the sun shroud round
The fallen...

The uniform was put on each work day
It started as blue serge cleaned and pressed creases to stay
And I progressed through the years dedicated
Changing blue and less parade ground antiquated 

I wore it with pride...

Like a butler with affluence in an experiment of own creation,
Counting the amount of celluloid before any fireworks is triggered,
I gnawed the vapour that was an outcome of a prolonged moan,
And, held a long serge...

We're hit, we're hit!! serge!
The thing goes skrrrahh pap pap ka-ka-ka
Skibiki-pap-pap and a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom

Poom, poom

The whole platoon has been cut off
The entire platoon has been wiped off
Company merit has fallen short of mercy

Thanks to...

AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION

Our culture, our worship, our belief, our trait
From West they came, they marred our pride
As Blacks protest, the Whites defend
Religions they brought are filled with threat
So unprepared, the groom met bride
Right now in...

Attila, Hannibal, and Genghis Khan
Were comparing the many battles they'd won.
Hannibal boasted o'er the Alps he had coasted
On elephants and conquered the Romans.
Khan's hordes did maraud both at home and abroad
In places they'd ne'er make...

Meeting you was like igniting a bomb site, consuming my body with fright yet holding on tight. 

  Finding you was like finding a single star in the sky, glistening like the twinkle in your eye.

Soothing sliding silvered tides, fields of verdant; rolling co-inside..'

Beards of algae flow on wrecks, phosphorescence guilds the whitecap in flecks,

As a mirror shattered myriad shines, to uneven waves that crash in; times..'

Respect sets the stage for love’s serge.
Where, esteem and flattery merge.
Infatuation births passions.
Self worth overcomes excitements
And casts off mundane enticements.
Integrity stays emotions.
Respect sets the stage for love’s serge.
Where, esteem and flattery merge.
Hold firm to dreams...

Even those with account large
Do not fancy the least charge:
Men with riches as their badge
Could later on sing a dirge 
Try to involve some cheap serge
“We’ve been hit with an iceberg!”

Thus, ‘Charge’ is a word...

Buds of beauty begin to appear.
Iridescences sparkle in the sun. 
Robins start their trek up north.
Discovery has just begun.
 
Opulent life begins to emerge.
Flowers soon bloom amid color’s serge.
 
Perky pedestrians jog through the parks.
Artists...
