The Bridge Makers
In chalk-dust classrooms, minds alight,
She sows the seeds of endless flight,
A teacher's touch, a gentle hand,
Empowering futures, taking a stand.
He walks the streets where shadows fall,
A voice for voiceless, standing tall,
For every right, for every child,
A champion's heart, burning wild.
Two paths they tread, yet interwoven,
Threads of love and purpose sewn,
Their passion echoes, clear and strong,
An

Judgement Makers
Judgement Makers
Be careful, watch your words.
Remember what Christ said:
"Do not judge lest you be
judged also!"
We muck about like God himself.
We. Yes, I said "we" have already
decided.
Who is going to heaven and who
is going to hell.
Tell God, He has nothing to do on
Judgement Day!
For arrogant humanity's proclivity
to sanctity,
Knows today who is going to hell
and

Coffee Makers
Long after the coffee pot
Calls the kettle black,
Eventually they will realize
They both serve the same purpose.
Just one begins slow and boils up fast,
While the other brews until it is filled
With the most bitter taste.
The coffee pot serving a roast
Darker than its host.
And the kettle instantly melting away
All of the dryness of the ground beans.

Musical melodies mimic magnificent messages.
Mostly material mentioning meaningful moments,
Masterpieces march merrily.
Millionaire music makers.

Rule Makers Rule Breakers
If you’re a Rule Maker it’s probably true
that you have broken more than a few;
Rule Breakers want to get that win,
their endless hustle demands attention;
Free thought with structure? Perfect balance;
Respecting each other leads to progress;
Fusing ideologies could be the game changer.

Lament For the Makers
The death of once-great swans I oft' lament;
and ask in vain, “Where have all the bards gone?”
No more are written lines as eloquent
as in the days of Poesy's ancient dawn,
when Homer sung the epic war for Troy,
and the odyssey of

The New Myth Makers
My pleasure is in creating my own mythology.
I have read the saga's, the legends the great epics,
and they have made a garden for my spirit to walk in,
yet, they are the 'other' stories, ones told for so long now
they seem like the often played grooves
in an old vinyl record.
Better to unfold my own myths, better

Dream Makers

half-castes
tranced set eyes
moored wild sparkles
smooched perianths hues
moon chant ripen charm bud
purplish-lacquered functions
claimed space far and few

warm broad spots
mauve blooms
dense

The Excuse Makers
The Excuse Makers
Dedicated to themselves, while your friendship, once a red, ripe
apple grows moldy on a shelf.
Friends don't pity you, they are forever there.
Shining as the brightest star,simply because they honestly care.
Look deep into your empty soul as your selfishness may make
a friendship rot.
Grow up, and cease being a selfish snot!
Poetry, gets you

What the Poet Sees
by Michael R. Burch
What the poet sees,
he sees as a swimmer
~~~underwater~~~
watching the shoreline blur
sees through his breath’s weightless bubbles...
Both worlds grow obscure.
Muse/Goddess
by Michael R. Burch
“What will you conceive in me?”
I asked her. But she
only smiled.
“Naked, I bore your child
when the wolf wind howled,
when the cold moon scowled...
naked, and gladly.”
“What

Of Kings and King Makers
The decisive die is cast
No rule is hard and fast
The Rubicon crossed and more
The Senate and other arms in tow
The Queen bee not to be rocked
Drones in hives,locked
The Emperor not at all shocked
As food reserves, de-stocked
The last Act and scene unfold
The conspirators, the Emperor scold
Daggers drawn; they await their fill
He gasps "and you, Brutus?"

Prayer For the Makers
Our pages' dearth decrees our need for death
when, from time to time, we invoke the Muse
and she doth not reply (but doth refuse!)
as our quills run dry while we fail for breath
of inspiration. We pray to gods beneath
