Dare Poke the Bear!

Dare poke the bear, rattle the cage,
Time will slink away to shun you.
For the fight is more rant than rage.
Dare poke the bear!

Friends will cringe and flinch at your blew.
Ignoring pleas from wise old sage,
You've bitten more than you can chew.

So let the swing and swipe in cage.
Suffice to quell your hoodoo brew,
Before it poisons

I Poke A-I in the Eye, A? Ah Soh

Despise poesy AI, it mimics, lies, fakes  ~ never dreams or cries

Pinch Me Poke Me

Pinch me, poke me
I still dream 
Poets rattle
Every ream

Words don't fail me
As I fall
I want to capture 
Love, is all

Blank page
Staring
At the start
Composition of the heart 

Blues and blacks 
They flutter by
Angel's wings
Ooh.. butterfly

Nighttime thoughts
Longing morns
Aching words 
Birdsong dawns

They all inspire 
A bit, it's true
But in my dreams
My dear, it's you

Walk softly Ode to my walking stick

Loyal companion carved from a sturdy oak.
This eternal gratitude will never be revoked.
You've been there for me more then
some human folk.
I think I may be in love with you and that is no joke.
Please stay by my side until the day I croak,
if perchance we come upon a very nasty bloke,
I will turn you upside

Poke

So many nice views in wild,
Beautiful natural things.
I dislike that kind of poke
Could not smell scents  
From this mobile screen

A Poke of Beauty

pink dot in the air
    small rose on the tall branch sways
                  a poke of beauty

Poke Than Provoke and Broke

Would Poke Than Provoke Until Broke

had heard when they poke
potential was to provoke
would do until broke

we read about Jobe
was wild when he wore a robe
earing in each lobe
(in room had a globe)

had been cynical
when war was political
am hysterical

often obsequious
he had been called hibiscus
presumed promiscuous

would wear uniform
which always did keep him warm
protect in a storm

Never Poke a Sleeping Bear

never poke a sleeping bear
he may be playing possum
waiting to turn you into
a morning snack quite awesome
who can calculate 
the cost of any scratch
without putting a value on
the itch it has to match
could one hand do it all alone
or must it join the other
to match the width and breadth
of the itch it has to cover
or

A Prick of a Poke

What are we doing?
What have we become?
We are told to line up and get a free shot.
Why?
Are we doing this because it is a free shot?
Freedom isn't free
Freedom is about personal choice
Have we forgotten this choice so many have fought and died for here and around the world?
We must study and remember the past
Or we

Poke a Little Fun At Everyone

The bigger the government, the smaller the men
  None smaller than Obama, Trump, or Joseph Biden

Give me a land where men breathe deep, proudly stand
  Not, cog-like, bow to Amazon, Google, or Mar-a-Lago Land

A Poke

The calendar says April
But it’s winter once again, 
Although the bulbs are up and bears
Have likely left the den.

I bundled up to take my walk
With scarf and gloves and hood, 
Not attired for the season
As I would have thought I should.

It’s a poke by Mother Nature, 
A reminder we should not
Get complacent for what we

Prancer Poke

Prancer gave Dasher a poke
It was so hard that he had to soak
His ribs were still sore
As he heads to the door
He pranced to the song, backstroke

Don'T Poke the Bear

Inspirational beauty, comes to life every spring.
The baby birds in their nest, to their mothers still cling.
The hibernating bear, still asleep in his den.
Will soon wake up cranky, so we'll let him sleep in.

Many creatures of beauty, some big and some small.
They thrive in the forest, well into the fall.
The bunnies and squirrel, the lark

Salat Days

Salat Days
by Michael R. Burch 

(dedicated to my grandfather, Paul Ray Burch Sr.)

I remember how my grandfather used to pick poke salat ...
though first, usually, he’d stretch back in the front porch swing,
dangling his long thin legs, watching the sweat bees drone,
talking about poke salat—
how easy it was to find if you knew where to

Pig In a Poke

Someone tell me something
give it me 
a direction please
I’ll buy it on the internet
if there’s any free release

Shiny,shiny glitter me
tell me something please
tell me what must I be necessity
this silence is blinding me
and reprint me the receipt

Send me fusion flicker screen
and all those other more important things
my life can be wrapped in cellophane
if delivery is
