Premium Member Part Time Poet

There are parts of a whole and time undivided

	A poet is more than an inkwell lost in half essence

Opposites contradictions and strife for harmony
 
	An abundance of minutes and a scribe just the same

The nib scratches the surface and yet the fountain

	Emerges from the bottomless depth of the well
 
When blotches and smudges refused to emerge from the pot

	He utilizes festering wounds and heart blood

Treasures of hope joy and exuberant passion

	Links dot to dot on canvass of words never lost

Fragments remain but he rearranged schedules

	Measures rhythm rhyme and meters connections

Some call him a part time ‘unemployed’ poet

	‘It’s just a hobby and foolish distraction’

Others reminded him that muse and artistic endeavour

	Would not feed his body but he stomachs the pain

‘Irresponsible and insane’ yet one more accusation

	A dreamer reckless idealist refusing to grow up and get real

A scriptorium can never be a half-way house and Tim is

	A full slate writer whatever the say to diminish his craft

Premium Member Abcedarian Poem Because it is Great Practice for Me

aristocratic antelope alarms and annoys
blue-eyed baboon’s billy goat buster
causing confusion, consternation and crying
distressing and disturbing deliberate donkey
egg-producing egret elevates enthusiasm
forever frolicking in farmer fred’s pastures
giddy goats gallop in garnished with garlands
happy horse henry hypnotizes henrietta’s hens
intense iguana ignores idiocy of inmates
jackals justify jack rabbits jelly-like jeers
kangaroo keenly kicks off kingly kibitz
luxurious llamas lollygag in the lounge
mischievous monkeys march among marshes
nervous newts nibble on nutty Nutella
obnoxious oxen opts out of outrageous opportunities
preening peacock praises his pompous president
quivering quail questions quaking quasar
rustic rooster ruffles robin’s restlessness
sassy songbirds swizzle and sway toward sand beach
talkative turtle trains tarantula to twist and turn
understudy Ulysses utilizes universal unitedness
validating vocabulary of vicious vultures
wandering weasel wants to find his wishes
‘xacting ‘xtra ‘xhibitions ‘xperiment on eagle’s nest
yellow yak yawns next to yipping young wolf dog
zealous zebra zips into view of aristocratic antelope

Understand Yourself To Understand Me

I know who I am and love me even more… ripened like the finest wine never pop my cork.
I love harmony and don’t mean a tune, but a life from harmonious view.
I don’t tolerate the devils dirty work disguised to hide the shallow blue….
Looking like the sandy blue seas once hitting the coast with such beauty, but once unhidden is 
truly a Tsunami.  God utilizes my time more wisely.
 I am God’s special gift, so I feel sorry for you if you choose me to mess with.
To mess with me is to harm yourself stop trying to understand and understand yourself. 
Understand God lives and shines through me... do you now understand me, now try to 
understand yourself.

Premium Member Dear Aspiring Poet

Dear New Poet,

Modern poetry to me engages readers in seeking their own deep or higher meaning to life experiences. It utilizes symbolism imagery and varied verse that speaks to intellect and emotion.

The best advice I have is that which was given to me:

1) Read all types of poetry every chance you can. Make notes of poets you like and why; note poetry forms that appeal to you.

2) Make lists of words, expressions, phrases you find fascinating, interesting, anything that grabs your attention. Also, keep lists of new words and definitions. I use phone apps for notes, lists, thesaurus, dictionary.

3) Write about your own experiences, beliefs, life.  Write in a quiet place. Jot down whatever comes to mind, your feelings. Anytime you get an inspiration, write it down, record it. Those thoughts you just know you will remember forever will float away in no time at all.

4) Experiment. Try different word placements, edit  edit, edit. Leave it for awhile or overnight. Edit again. Read your piece outloud. Pay attention to awkward points and edit those.

5) Have fun with it. Throughout the day, observe situations and people. Be open to suggestions and critiques. Poets never stop learning.

A workshop assignment led me to poetry at a time when I was emotionally on overload. Besides being therapeutic, writing poetry gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Favorite THEMES include the joy and pain of 1) Love, 2) Family, 3) Sobriety, 4) Death, 5) Nature. 

My favorite REFERENCE sources are: 1) rhymezone.com, 2) howmanysyllables.com, 3) PoetrySoup Cliche Finder, 4) smallseotools.come, 5) shadowpoetry.com

Favorite poems I have written are: 1) Grandsons, 2) Absence, 3) Remembering Johnna, 4) Lady, 5) Surrender or Die, 6) Pocket Watch 2, 7) Time Of Us, 8) No More, 9) Girls of Halloween, 10) Halloween Birthday.

My literary BACKGROUND: Always an avid reader, journalism courses led to newspaper editing and reporting. After 25+ years of a successful medical research and transcription career, physical problems forced a change. As a member of a local writers group, two short stories were published, and in the last few years, as an aspiring poet, several poems have been published.

Premium Member America's Bird

America’s Bird


In all honesty, the extent of my turkey knowledge begins and ends with their unique sound and their great taste.
Come Thanksgiving and Christmas, turkey fragrance fills the house and nothing goes to waste.

I know that the dove has symbolic meaning, one being that of the Holy Spirit.
I also understand that the dove must be a gentle one, spoken of as being harmless.
No one takes kindness to being called a turkey; and a dove-like defense is rather limited.

But the eagle is really my kind of bird, and he would certainly be my first choice.
The eagle has the eye to target and lay hold of his prey, and quickly return to the heights.
The eagle knows how to repair and rebuild himself, renewing his strength for longevity.
He knows the ways of the wind and becomes its partner, as he mounts up his wings to sour.

No, I think that turkeys are birds of choice for smokers, ovens, and tables of holiday feasts.
I wish our world could be as harmless as doves, and fly about feeding its hungry and caring for its young.
But our world chooses not to be at peace, and we fall short at feeding, loving, and caring for the needy.

Yes, give me the eagle who reaches for the high places;
Who observes and listens, communicating with the winds.
He's hi-tech, working not hard, but smart, by spreading his wings
He does not seek to change, but he works 'with the wind' and soars.
He’s aware of the winds of change and utilizes divine resources.
I choose the eagle for America, and may we forever mount up higher.
May we keep flying high, soaring above and beyond, until our days are done.

Premium Member At Hand

I'd never need a holiday
If you were by my side
Every day would be like one 
For me from your provide 

I wouldn't want a break from you
You'd be at my right hand
But if you'd need a break from me
That's fine, I'd understand 

It's just that you're so special
In all the years I've lived 
I've never met another who
Might want all I could give

I wouldn't be a nuisance
I wouldn't cling to you
But I know that all the things you like
Are things I'd want to do

I'd even go to Sheep and Wool
To pick out pretty yarns
I'd try my skill at knitting
And start with both our hearts 

I'd learn to code a program,
To make a small website
That utilizes MailChimp
Then try with all my might 

To understand just what's the Cloud
And why it works and such
I'd want to be your right hand too
Because I love you much

Premium Member recognizing wisdom tree

Wisdom tree understands the nuances of the forest
She has lost her leaves; her bark is petrified but she is sane
Insanity parades around her, in the form of distorted elms and oaks
Those who meditate are drawn to her, without understanding why
It is an absolute knowing, without knowing how they know,

Wisdom tree is understood by empaths, psychics, and the fey
Dwarfs, brownies, and faeries, gather around to glean her sage advice
She utilizes telepathy to give them what they need; a faerie godmother
Children stand in awe, understanding her in a spiritual way.

Their parents often try to rush them, but they are reluctant to go.
Recognizing wisdom tree from their heavenly playground, prebirth.

An Obscenity Trial

An Obscenity Trial
by Michael R. Burch
 
The defendant was a poet held in many iron restraints
against whom several critics cited numerous complaints.
They accused him of trying to reach the "common crowd,"
and they said his poems incited recitals far too loud.
 
The prosecutor alleged himself most stylish and best-dressed;
it seems he’d never lost a case, nor really once been pressed.
He was known far and wide for intensely hating clarity;
twelve dilettantes at once declared the defendant another fatality.
 
The judge was an intellectual well-known for his great mind,
though not for being merciful, honest, sane or kind.
Clerics called him the "Hanging Judge" and the critics were his kin.
Bystanders said, "They'll crucify him!" The public was not let in.
 
The prosecutor began his case
by spitting in the poet's face,
knowing the trial would be a farce.
"It is obscene,"
he screamed,
"to expose the naked heart!"
The recorder (bewildered Society)
greeted this statement with applause.
 
"This man is no poet.
Just look: his Hallmark shows it.
Why, see, he utilizes rhyme, symmetry and grammar!
He speaks without a stammer!
His sense of rhythm is too fine!
He does not use recondite words
or conjure ancient Latin verbs.
This man is an imposter!
I ask that his sentence be
the almost perceptible indignity
of removal from the Post-Modernistic roster."
The jury left in tears of joy, literally sequestered.
 
The defendant sighed in mild despair,
"Please, let me answer to my peers."
But how His Honor giggled then,
seeing no poets were let in.
 
Later, the clashing symbols of their pronouncements drove him mad
and he admitted both rhyme and reason were bad.

***
 
A well-known poet criticized this poem for being "journalistic." But then the poem is written from the point of view of a journalist who's covering the trial of a poet. The poem was completed by the end of my sophomore year in college.

Premium Member Wonderful Wandering Mind

Why can’t the sky be purple with pink clouds?
Perhaps for some folk, it is…
What if you could really time travel to other galaxies?  Perhaps on some level, the essence of soul, allows it.

What would your dog say if it could speak English or 
some other human language?  
Perhaps they do but, people aren’t really listening…
Perception is not limited; 
it is only narrowed by the human ego; 
a sad and self-limiting choice.

Narrow minds limit not only themselves but, 
society’s growth…its progress.
Any future determined by narrow minds is, 
a bleak one and its taste is sour on life’s tongue.
Children are born with unlimited perception; 
their world is an amazing adventure until, adult egos brainwash them into a self-limiting box.

They say that the human only utilizes 
one third of the brain’s capacity.  
How much more would adults use if they, 
learned to expand perception?
What if they learned from the children?  
Perhaps those purple and pink skies could be more than,
 just crayon drawings on a page...
everyone has the chance to find out!
