showing no reserve,
showing absolutely no shame.

Bunch of limericks and other funny tricks II
I hate it when a girl rolls her eyes,
because that means she's on to my lies.
And then it's harder to get her
to let me under her sweater,
and then on to the ultimate prize.
I never once...

Kin
by Michael R. Burch

Shrill gulls,
how like my thoughts
you, struggling, rise
to distant bliss?
the weightless blue of skies
that are not blue
in any atmosphere,
but closest here...

You seek an air
so clear,
so rarified

Erin, for a girl who embodies Ireland

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?
Fruit indecently sweet,
redolent as incense, with a tempting aroma...

Roses and Lilacs
Winter
by Michael R. Burch
The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;

but at her feet

has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.
