Early Poems XX
Early Poems XX
These are my early poems or juvenilia.
Paradise
by Michael R. Burch, age 15
There’s a sparkling stream
And clear blue lake
A home to beaver,
Duck and drake
Where the waters flow
And the winds are soft
And the sky is full
Of birds aloft
Where the long grass waves
In the gentle breeze
And the setting sun
Is a pure cerise
Where the gentle deer
Though timid and shy
Are not afraid
As we pass them by
Where the morning dew
Sparkles in the grass
And the lake’s as clear
As a looking glass
Where the trees grow straight
And tall and green
Where the air is pure
And fresh and clean
Where the bluebird trills
Her merry song
As robins and skylarks
Sing along
A place where nature
Is at her best
A place of solitude
Of quiet and rest
This is one of my very earliest poems, written as a song in the 9th or 10th grade. It was “published” in a high school assignment poetry notebook.
