Instruction
by Michael R. Burch
Toss this poem aside
to the filigreed and the wild tide

watching the shoreline blur
sees through his breath’s weightless bubbles...
Both worlds grow obscure.

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...

Skin tight jeans, mini skirts and skimpy knickers

The Submisive Loser Dominant Victors Shower Of Rage
The Naked brazen placid blue
Meets its foe the dark forbidding nemeses
Who unleashes his growing anger and fury
Obliterating and defeating his enemy
Proclaims a victory and unrolls his miserable shroud
With utter contempt
And spews his venom
Impregnating his virgin...

The Day My Ego Collapsed

a sculpted figure that only comes from princes of story books.

Sleepless In Whereis Part 1
I’m stealing through a twilit realm, the ancient pale of Whereis,

People of Sacred Corn
People of sacred Cornucopias
found ourselves politically alone
competing to survive
in Earth's choking climates
of totally domesticated and over-run despair,
then neglect,
then more actively terrorizing abuses.
Corn People,
PolyCultural Planners,
greeting Yang-behaving bean bodies
growing up and into our digestive tracks
and tracts,
our speaking...

The Absent Spark of Miracles
By a mysterious twinkle in an all perceiving eye
A form energetic gentle breathing
The grand consummation of design
Ignited by universal dreaming
Enchanted stars into their life giving
The dance conceptual
The ballet between
Principals masculine and feminine
These consorts of the...

ladies of the night
are dressed in finest lace
while hiding in the shadows
where they never leave a trace
on barren - broken - bastard streets
these ladies have no face

A Bounteous Harvest
(my acknowledgement
to the loose canon of Robert Frost)
An above average snowfall
heavily swathed sage heather
followed by substantial unusual rainfall
punctuated months before, during and
after the growing season
delivered one of the
most hearty crop yields
in living memory...

Timeless Womb
Seed - scattered strewn or downtrodden.
Grain stuck on passive flytrap mucus.
Wild life biomes ripe with open sesame.
Frantic birth pangs stiffen their gestations as green leaf ferments bubble underneath.

A Small Country Farm
Just a small country farm,
On a small country road,
A sixteen hand draft horse,
A pullin' the loads.
With maize as its mainstay,
Lofty tassels to the wind,
Lowly swine in the barn yard,
Venerable dairy cows in their pens.
Agrarian life's...
