Halloween PoemsIt's Halloween!
Michael R. Burch
If evening falls
on graveyard walls
far softer than a sigh;
if shadows fly
moon-sickled skies,
while children toss their heads
uneasy in their beds,

Myth, After Dylan ThomasMyth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch

sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.
And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low...

The Pictish FaeriesThe Pictish Faeries
by Michael R. Burch
Smaller and darker
than their closest kin,
the faeries learned only too well
never to dwell
close to the villages of larger men.
Only to dance in the starlight
when the moon was full
and men...

Just a Tree - a RequiemSomeone who knows
Said You were an old ancient Tree,
But at the time, it didn’t really matter,
Or seem important to me.

and just a little…

Paper Tigers
"Paper Tigers"
eyes mark slow time
spotting leopard rhyme
never changing its spots
black balled

bluffing intelligentsia
between the gaps
flatulent poets floss their teeth
waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary...
