The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
The Tender Weight of Her Sighs
by Michael R. Burch
The tender weight of her sighs
lies heavily upon my heart;
apart from her, full of doubt,
without her presence to revolve around,
found wanting direction or course,
cursed with the thought...

The Wheat and the Tare
They crept upon our shores eating away the inner core
They crept upon our shore knocking on our barricade doors
Tall stout men with peevish eyes and strange looks on their white faces
Invade our quarters looking for...

the bed of the ocean in my heart,
strange creatures exist,
they guard the gate

have past
the sound of their existence
is strange music for strange creatures,
words are...

Wild Woman of the West
I dress the way I do on stage
To transport you to another age
Where wild women of the west
Proved they stood among the best
They rode boot to boot along side the men
Riding broncs to hell &...

Clocks Ticking To Politicking
(Read later stanzas for more of the humour part ; parody of politics)
I Can't think well of a democracy
if nepotism and false promises

A system of governance can't appeal to...

I'm a Little Masochistic, But Not in the Way you Think

But only because I'd need you to like me
The eyesore that is your beat up honda in the driveway
I said I would call but I can see...

Poets You Set Life Free
Let’s take a ride, how about traveling, to outer space,
Just accept anything’s possible, it’s our cosmic chase,
Moving faster than light speed, in the blink of an eye,
Unleash your imagination, laws of physics, don’t apply,
Maybe...

The Postman Cometh
My prankster, older son, came home from college, just the other day.
He saw such great possibilities, in how, he, with the Trolls, could play.

Range Day
Berms rise high to the left and right,
they’ve created a wide gully,
another berm squares off the back,
so no stray rounds ever get free.
There’s a metal spinner back there,
sits just short of two hundred yards,
I squeeze...

The Wolves of the Barren Lands
Staring down the wolves
With a shotgun in each hand
My back against a wall
Of some barren land.
Though tides of Evil course
Through my blood filled veins
'S no hiding or remorse
Until those beasts are slain.
The winds of...

A Somewhere Paris Cafe
A haze…
Languorous oft in summer days
Where sundrops drip
From melting skies
Onto city grind
And parasols shade the cobbled grays
Across back alley lanes
Trains and trolleys tip toe by
As a fool in...

Ah, Shucks
A Cowboy is lean, tall, muscled and an inarticulate mass
Of loyalty, independence, pride and downright Western class
He cocks his hat to the back of his head and lets loose an infectious grin
Testosterone overflowing he’s masculine...

The Battle of Northfield's Begun
Somebody special just rode into Northfield,
Somebody famous and bold,
Long linen dusters concealing their pistols,
They’ve come to steal all our gold.
James boys and Youngers, they’re up from Missouri,
Riding so slow into town,
Mighty warm welcome in South...

The Green Man
He speaks for the uprooted.
A man of sorts, a twiggy Buddha.
He who interprets
the conferences of frogs,
the unpublished works
of kestrels and voles.
He’s an advocate for the underbelly
of a microbial heaven, for every kind
of uncouth animalcule.
