of night is in the despairing skies;
each hut shuts its bright bewildered eyes.

with only one ardent wish
to wreak havoc on mankind

and keep her constant check
and in the cold weather wore

Widows' Walk Re-Post
She waited oh so patiently!
every day she looked, ("Oh, might I gloat?")
for sight of that one trawler, 'The Forever,'
cresting waves, he, wildly cursing,
all the while he's still afloat,
and every day she moans, "Oh, may he...

Leaving Wales
Wales to me is her Celtic tribal history,
Wales to me is walks upon her shores.
Wales to me is her druids, saints, and mystery,
the soil I tread, the salt that leaves my pores.
We drove an hour...

Floating
Floating
by Michael R. Burch
Memories flood the sand’s unfolding scroll;
they pour in with the long, cursive tides of night.
Memories of revenant blue eyes and wild lips
moist and frantic against my own.
Memories of ghostly...

There was a rustling in the woods
Under the arbutus tree canopy,
As I climbed up the lichen covered rocks
Above the shimmering ocean,
Late afternoon sun streaming down.
I turned to see a doe watching me

Riding the Eye
Never felt such trepidation
Lost in black mountains
Crashing over the port house
Suddenly underneath
Blasting through the surface
Into the maelstroms wrath
In power tossing the little craft
Of sticks and tack and glue
Coming apart the brine leaking
Away the hope of...

Frozen snow on the frozen ground
In the deepest night the starlight
Guides her back to the colder town
Baby, baby bunting

Gone to fetch a wheelie bin
To bin...

On this you will have to agree,
For people embellish the things that they say,
To...
