Settling over the town like a great shroud

KRAMPUS CHRISTMAS
All hope is lost for children 
If their festive spirit dies,
The Christmas magic disappears 
As they look through older eyes.

No more milk and cookies
Or a sign for Santa`s sleigh,
Or carrots for the reindeer
To eat...

Into the gloom
by Michael R. Burch

Colors dance on the canvass of my life
In an intricate interplay of hues
Intensifying and weakening at different stages

Embracing Poetry

Freedom on the lam where the poet sings
To hearts imprisoned against their will;
Inspires the bereaved mind to spring to life
And uplift hearts bloom burst liberated
When pain of incarceration ceases.

Wait motionless with the company they keep
Stuffed animals are the guardians of the soul
Children return...

I watched them gather round
The warmth of your flame
Like campers at campfire time
Huddling close to you
Pushing and jostling
For the best place
I saw your warmth
Dancing off their faces
Small cinders escaping into the night
I followed the sparks...

A bald head doesn’t compare to massive bare breasts
And massive bulbous breasts don’t even come close 
In comparison to your nicely rounded bottom

Yes, I love...

You found it.
You found what took years to hide,
so deep within my fortress
     that I forgot it could be felt.
Now knarled trees spring to life
as the chest is cracked open
and the...

A writer's craft bleeds streams of words,
Watch passion seed rhymes and chimes heard.


Conjure word craft in vivid surge,
Explore wordplay as feel primes urge.


Feel each feeling that sires fond waves,
Sights and sounds fling such flavours brave.

their harsh whisper the frost-fastened barren boughs hear…

In the middle of an abandoned churchyard 
Stands a lily, who all pass by 
Growing in winter, spring, summer and fall 
Just simply, refusing to die 

Some people called it unnatural 
As they plucked it...

a labor of love that would take many hours
