Artificial Smile
by Michael R. Burch

to stretch belief, to hollow out the cob
of zealous righteousness, to grasp life’s stub
between clenched molars, and yank out the grief.
Mine must be art-official?zenlike Art?

An Epic Love For Women
I know you're not here
but you are in my heart
so
you are always with me
i'll just slip into you
with these words.
I know
there are mountains

peaks that stride above the...

Magic Bagpipes and the Five Jelly Tykes
A Bagpipe am I,
My drones point to the sky!
I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day.
He gave me the gift of immortal time,
I could travel through centuries,
T’was a gift.
It was...

Velvet Glove Compartment
Age defiant was this spruce and spirited citizen slinking blithely past the burgundy red doors of her enigmatic country dwelling.
As her olive skin neatly curved fingers
slid over an intermittently scratched carbon black handrail she...

Not Seemingly Simulated
Though virtual reality wasn't new, I hadn't ever once tried it,
Yet the concept fascinated me, like beauty's mysterious secret.

Alaska, the Last Frontier
Alaska; the wilderness state, the last frontier:
Where majestic mountains,
Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or...

The New Seven Deadly Sins
I think it's time to do an update
Of The Seven Deadly Sins
Most people do not know them all
Sit down and let's begin
I'm not really religious
But, I think they're a bit stale
So, I think I'll spruce...

Recollections From the Golden Cree Iii
Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn -
Wherein contained:
Foreboding dialects delivered...

WE ARE CANADIAN, EH?
WE ARE CANADIAN, EH?
We came across the Bering Strait twelve thousand years ago.
We didn't linger long up there – 'twas 99 below!
We wandered south while looking for a Timmy's 'round each bend,
Just something in...

Christmas Past and Present Bring Me Tears
Christmas Past and Present Bring Me Tears
My legs of yesterday's
walked into a Christmas storybook,
a glorious past,
pages filled with good tidings.
And as young kid, once with open eyes,
with clinging beliefs
in good shepherds,
it was

Rat-A-Tat-Tat
The typewriters tap,
with a rat-a-tat-tat,
like a fourth estate rap
to provide us the pap
(that serves as a snack with a rat-a-tat-tat)
in a newspaper scrap
crammed with meaningless crap
from the editor's yap
(spewing flimflamy flak, booming rat-a-tat-tat)
after gashing a...

Dragon and Duck Dynamics
Dragon wanted a summer job so off to Dragon Air he did go.
But his erratic flying audition brought him, only buckets of Whoa!
They told him to come back later, whenever he learns to, better fly.

Snow, Snake, Snow, Birds, Sickness, Sitting
So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?
Of stars, a quiet, hot snowfall
of white stars; sandal season squall.
Each birch tree here outdoing
January's record accumulation.
Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of
birches'...

Lens of Life
Can blackwater lilies
sing forth sonnets
of daylight and
unsung those
cacophonous notes
of omen, which
rhymed with
sombre elixir
of spruce rivulets and
veiled your crimson
touch of life,
in eons of unforgivable
death?...
