Sonnet 14, Part 1 of 3
1. Ripples in warm sunbeams dwell.
From a sandy cocoon I wake and stir.
A floater in the blue does knell,
A dot, a stain, a blackened blur.
Am I the only one who sees?
No, the beach is afoot...

Robert Burns Translation: Banks O' Doon
Banks o' Doon
by Robert Burns
modern English translation by Michael R. Burch
Oh, banks and hills of lovely Doon,
How can you bloom so fresh and fair;
How can you chant, ecstatic birds,
When I'm so weary, full of care!
You'll...

The Philosopher Part 1
The Philosopher is a single long poem, I apologize for the inconvenience of splitting it
into 2 parts.
He pushes aside the weathered curtain
The colourless tub, the bland tiles, his grey glazed sight
He looks over his shoulder...

Robert Burns Translation: To a Louse
To a Louse
by Robert Burns
translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Hey! Where're you going, you crawling hair-fly?
Your impudence protects you, barely;
I can only say that you swagger rarely
Over gauze and lace.
Though faith! I fear you dine but...

Longest shut down in history
Watching it all in Korea

World watches as North Korea and the US
Walking back from the brink of war

In State
Barefoot on the paving slab chill, concrete
feet feel frostbite emanations in their callused souls;
rooftop mystique clamours silent slate triangles,
perched the stray cat observers, red-eyes smoking coals.
Down to the river's edge where swaying reeds
feed mongrel contemplations...

Guilt Or Fear
He sat alone in a dark self-made cell
Only a crack of light revealed him there
His face a shadow of a good life once
Now a torture show to the uncivilized
Ghostlike features masked his lean face

Egg At the Odd of Night
outside
inventoried oval-stoned
cathedrals appealing
chiming crimes of passion
woke citronella
fog
hung in cement-hamocked snowdrifts
cloaked slow on slick-stained windowsides
tenement sheets
with the pomegranate notes
of rhythms unrhymed
while all the uptown laundromarts
rising up
from insomniac-scrambled sidewalks
corked-copper moon tumbling earthward
like a sweet
sweatshredded...

And Blondes Whistle Mightily
And blondes whistle (mightily)
Groove and rhythm supplied
By their accidental guardians
Feigning lock-down on these
Rancid, insipid rugged shores
It's what's expected
The triumphant stasis
The settling down of
Benign expectations
Mixed coarsely with the
Vinegar-garnished
Toxic waves disguised as hope
Fame and glamor
The settling in...

The Walk
Walking becoming overcoming.
Orion becomes Jesus walking on water.
Trek trudge and stumble, taking it in stride.
Bearing a cross of torment and torture.
Struggling slogging shepherding,
slaving in blood mixed tears.
Walking through light and shadow.
Sleep meandering, dreams seamlessly
mingle...

Courage To Consign Poverty To History Dustbins

Courage for noble stakes

To tackle hurdles and obstacles that seem insuperable
To fly high
The flag of integrity for the vulnerable
Whose predicament makes you sick

Lovely Chauffeur
Lovely Chauffeur
by Rick Rucker
While riding in the car were we,
She turned to me, suddenly,
Then, right out, without preamble,
My disordered life, she turned into a shamble!

"But for two in Love,...

The Mirage of My Perfect Love
A searing headache this morning my head splits
In circumstances whose cause I can’t pinpoint
In twilights when I teeter and shamble on my stilts
As my head I wrack to diagnose the flashpoint
That turns my world topsy...

The black metal gates shriek with horror

Every Idea Inside
My mind is in shamble
So much that its cost
How can I gamble
If what I won was just lost
I’ve scrambled my bean
To the point that I’m drained
If you know what I’ve seen
You’ll see that I’m stained
