Here lies Sondra Ball whose shadow too long;
May a passerby see and sing her song.
The Poet's Condition
by Michael R. Burch
(for my mother, Christine Ena Burch)
The poet's condition
(bother tradition)
is whining contrition.
Supposedly sage,
his editor knows
his brain's in his toes
though he would suppose
to soon be the rage.
His readers are sure
his work's premature
or merely manure,
insipidly trite.
His mother alone
will answer the phone
(perhaps with a moan)
to hear him recite.
Alternate Title: "Poetry Slam: The Hangup"
Keywords/Tags: poet, poets, poems, poetry, poetic expression, rhyme, editor, publisher, mother, readers, recite, recitation, reciting, performance, writing, reading, rap, slam, phone, telephone
The Better Man
by Michael R. Burch
Dear Ed: I don’t understand why
you will publish this other guy—
when I’m brilliant, devoted,
one hell of a poet!
Yet you publish Anonymous. Fie!
Fie! A pox on your head if you favor
this poet who’s dubious, unsavor
y, inconsistent in texts,
no address (I checked!):
since he’s plagiarized Unknown, I’ll wager!
I would like to share my thoughts
I got a gift
I realise, I love to write
You can say, its like an itch
One day I hope
It will make me extremely rich
I enjoy words
I write about everything
It doesn't say, that I am right
I just like to make my readers day bright
I wish you were a knight
I could do with some sunlight
It would be a delight
If you could show me the limelight
My work is copyright
I have all the rights
Why not search the website
You may fine the words
You read quite a delight.
