Oak
"Oak"
The guardians
stood around and
shook their heads
great thoughts
quivering
from the ground, roots up,
as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures
perplexed
and touching
green crowns,
there they...

“Forever”
When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes
and listened for the notes
her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the
labyrinthine trail
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

Father Time's InterviewHi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.
Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Modern Sonnets IMODERN SONNETS I
I prefer the original definition of the sonnet as a “little song” of indeterminate form and length. These modern sonnets vary from more-or-less traditional to free verse.

The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles

Visit To AntietamAlone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant...

The Sleeper and the Supernaturalist
"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper
shone as she walked
through the Woods
shining alive
like nothing
natural could
caught
in the moonlight
unaware
the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,
"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist
transfigures instead
from under shine
she bares...

Fishy Science School of Geometric ArtsMath speaks through us

One DayOne day not so long ago
I walked
Never alone
For the world
Is always my home
It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul
There’s such warmth
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness

Teachable MomentumToday
we left off yesterday
to pick up
where speaking non-violent principles
too often neglect to listen
to liberally artistic,
green and active
yet non-reactive
compassionate healers
may need to co-invest more
in co-operating democratic research

Excuse me,

Gadflies and HoneybeesWhere to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?
Where does this all rightfully

These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,

An Anxiously Anticipated EventDear John,
All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;
Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...
