Pell-Mell for Hell Mel
by Michael R. Burch

There once was a Baptist named Mel
who condemned all non-Christians to hell.
When he stood before God
he felt like a clod
to discover His Love couldn’t fail!



Why I...

I have invented a nonce nonsense form: the "dabble dactyl." A dabble dactyl starts out like a double dactyl, but forgets the rules and changes horses midstream. Anyone who prefers order to chaos should give...

The Platypus: Double Limerick
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 meager.
His sight is poor;
perhaps he’ll score
with a...

‘‘ ...GO TO THE ANTS AND BE WISE.’’

Man's world,his words,man's Imagination:
Man's braggdocio is laughable,
He proclaims himself the wisest
But when we look at him,his ego;
We conclude: self praise is crap .


What is news to man
That has...

The masters of buzz words 
used to instill fear 
Clutching their pearls saying 
“liberals take what’s dear”
Right wingers with their 
inescapable nexus 
Says its liberals insistent 
political correctness
If the “Woke” amplified the
so called cancel culture

THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET

The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand.
A Capella joviality, with torquing wrists, snapping fingers.
Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand.

Dapper in their pinstripe suits, hats — Delmonico brand.
Sweet Adeline, drawn out. ...

Way back in the nineteen thirties, 
they where mighty hard to beat.
The Hockey team from Alkali Lake,
Who would not accept defeat.   

You know there wasn't very many of them ,
so they could not...

Rainbow nation

It rained and rained, fine rain but persistent 
mountains dissolved, and rocks turned into sand 
When the rain stopped, a smooth landscape 
of peace and camel dung
Before the deluge, people who had sinned were
stoned to death since this...

Their March

So, you dropped by to learn where the Future soon will be
And what the fascist’s creed will ultimately decree.
Constructed oh so steadily by Republican traitor calls
The fascist acid seeping through our legislative halls

Broadcast destructively...

The Armenians are’t wanted,
Christians in Muslim land,
we have to make Turkey for Turks,
they’re not part of the plan.

The kulaks are class enemies,
hoarding all the best land,
it’s fine to starve the productive,
they’re not part of the...

Snow plows rumble in the night. I wake up 
for tomorrow already applauding the sunrise. 
Sol is turning slushy ice to diamonds
while unknown workers dig the world out again.

Even before the light 
dances around the...

The Enemy among us 
 The western world has lived in peace for sixty years
mainly because of EU and shared horrid memories.
This has not been the Palestinians case who were
shooed away to give room for...

An enduringly charming singer, 
His heard voice did linger,
His conquering kicks of a Ninja,
To The Despairing, a ginger. 

Wondrously effusive a singer,
His lyrics a bell ringer
And to millions, their Bliss Bringer:
Losers to the heists of...

Only God is Supreme
Humans can never be supreme
Don’t believe in Supreme Court
This court can be brought
Like any others
Shake your rainbow feathers
To dance a different beat
Please vote en masse to defeat
The right wingers
And the conservative swingers
This...

VI.
Can’t forget the mainstream media types,
all partisans and proud of it,
the right-wingers see right through their charade,
and rate their word lower than spit.
But the left’s legions of rank and file
still think that what they speak...

Less than eighty, now ... they're, unaccounted.
'Tis sad ... NEXT: the hawk hovered that founded
fresh sedges, grasslands, and deserts idyll,
God in the detail, Red-Tailed Hawk sidle,
Blitzkrieg mob by crows, females sized greater,
social-less wingers, life mono-mater,

Ponytails
Swishing madly,
Hurdling across the pitch.
Beads of sweat
Spraying in spirals
As fingers point,
Shouting directions
To strikers, wingers, and defensemen.

Defensewomen, really.

Get back!
Push it!
Don't lose form!
Take the shot!
Grazing past the clown gloves.
Concaving the thick nylon.
Back of the net glory!
Now run...

How lips become  mute and silent
When  dash of hues ignites ember,
My hands dip into oils, intent 
Curves of boughs soothe my day, tender

Bright language of trees on wingers
Sending glazed flutters down the spine,...
