Premium Member THE LAST ORNAMENT
She’s come into the bookstore with her mom a few times…she’s tall and innocent and shy. It was maybe the fourth or fifth time I greeted her that she finally answered “hi”. After her initial ‘hi’, however, she was as friendly as can be and now she always makes a point to come and talk with me. She came...

Pace lone the plume prime of a horse

The Fly
I sat and watched as it continually banged it's head into the window pane, that fly. My cat sits on the cill and swipes out at the fly as it buzzes around his head, But he missed and knocked over a china vase instead. The fly seemed startled and goes round and round the light. It's buzzing is driving...

And in gay Paris, you just went mad with joy Those miniatures saucers, jugs and a vase, Insisting each was her special lovely toy, Dainty trivialities, there's no more space. But without Limoges, can one...

Poems About Flowers
Lady’s Favor by Michael R. Burch May spring fling her riotous petals devil- may-care into the air, ignoring the lethal nettles and may 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. The Harvest of Roses by Michael R. Burch I have not come for the harvest of roses? the poets' mad visions, their railing at rhyme... for...

Sappho's Rose
Our English Rose by Michael R. Burch for Christine Ena Burch The rose is— the ornament of the earth, the glory of nature, the archetype of the flowers, the blush of the meadows, a lightning flash of beauty. This is my translation of ancient Greek epigram by Sappho of Lesbos. It was originally titled "Sappho's Rose" before I chose to dedicate it to my...
