Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor

ignoring the lethal
nettles

May
cry gleeful-
ly Hooray!
as the abundance
settles,
till a sudden June
swoon
leave us out of tune,
torn,
when the last rose is left
inconsolably bereft,
rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

Roses and LilacsWinter

and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.

temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.
Each flame
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.

Regret
by Michael R. Burch
Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...
once starlight
languished
in your hair...
a shining there
as brief
as rare.
Regret,
a pain
I chose to bear...
unleash
the torrent
of your hair...

On an iron bridge...

Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
