Roses and Lilacs
Winter
by Michael R. Burch
The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet
the pallid aphids mourn.
The lilac of devotion
has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

Auschwitz Rose
Auschwitz Rose
by Michael R. Burch
There is a Rose at Auschwitz, in the briar,
a rose like Sharon’s, lovely as her name.

I still love her and extend this sacred...

Picturebook Princess
for Keira
We had a special visitor.
Our world became suddenly brighter.
She was such a charmer!
Such a delighter!
With her sparkly diamond slippers
and the way her whole being glows,
Keira’s a picturebook princess
from the points of her...

An Unholy Christmas Mash Up
The snow lay thick; the snow lay flat
Upon my roof, a pitter pat
A reindeer or an alley cat?
Sure ain’t Santa… can’t be that
For midnight came and midnight went
So, clearly Santa wasn’t sent…
Who pitter patters as...

Across the seven seas,
He`ll plunder loot and pillage
And bring you to your knees.

Named after both his wives,
Their figure heads adorn the bow

POEMS ABOUT SCIENCE 3: EVOLUTION
Peers
by Michael R. Burch
These thoughts are alien, as through green slime
smeared on some lab tech’s brilliant slide, I grope,
positioning my bright oscilloscope
for better vantage, though I cannot see,
but only peer, as...

In trembling state he clenched close his cane
To rap tap the gate of the jail...

The Platypus, a Double Limerick
These are poems about animals by Michael R. Burch
Double Limerick: The Platypus
by Michael R. Burch
The platypus, myopic,
is ungainly, not erotic.
His feet for bed
are over-webbed,
and what of his proboscis?
The platypus, though, is eager
although his means are...

In Flight
I’m confined
Weighted
By this body of clay
I cannot soar
On the wings of my dreams
Or from lofty heights
Swoop down
To dip my hands in ocean streams
And then claim again
My place in the sky
Confined
Weighted
By the cares of this...

Ebb Tide
Massive, gray, these leaden waves
bear their unchanging burden—
the sameness of each day to day
while the wind seems to struggle to say
something half-submerged planks at the mouth of the bay
might nuzzle limp seaweed to understand.
Now collapsing...

In the wake of the harvest of thorns
When the alien- buffered by our silence
Shackled, manacled and butchered
Those of us that...

The Clock
THE CLOCK
In the shadows of deepening twilight
remote in a familiar world;
each moment the tick of a clock,
each one added to all
that have gone before,
each, one less the total.
How many days have I
or should my time
be...

To the Intruder In Mary's Garden

planting your bells and cockle shells, and hoping to grow.)
I built a little house,
And dared to plant a few flowers in the garden.
Surrounded by gray stone walls...

"What's your story?"
she questions,
"you seem interesting."

I reply, "NOW."
often people become confused
by such a unique response
not this one
she's a beauty
shiny minded stone

lacks definition of alone
alone she stands

America Dreaming
It is time to get fresh America,
to be plucked wriggling out of that shining sea,
a fresh baked humanity, moon-beam buckled.
Pass no more pay-day-loans
into the purses of the pawn-shopping poor,
give no witness nor evidence
of city shame,...
