Sea Star Poems - Poems about Sea Star

Early Poems XXI
These are my early poems, or juvenilia. Stars by Michael R. Burch, age 22 Though night has come, I'm not alone, for stars appear —fierce, faint and far— to dance until they disappear. They reappear as clouds roll by in stormy billows past bent willows; sometimes they almost seem to sigh. And time rolls on, on past the willows, on past the stormclouds as they billow, on to the stars so faint...

Premium Member A Farewell
And late at hour, by rippling roar Of waters lapping 'neath the tor, A figure bathed in lunar light Who smiled and turned upon my sight. And beating wings above the wight, The somber creatures of the night. And as the stars about him played, A sad embrace he gently made. "If I were 'cross the seas again, in climates fair or...

Premium Member Symbiotic Nature
Wildly fertile soil; Soft petals and wise old oaks, some consume insects; Oxygen filled air; Many who can’t long to fly to change perspective; Storms, wildfires, earthquakes we feel leveled when she yells; Mother may I live? These rushing currents; Home to scores of marine life, full of square rip tides; Replenishing the famine, it’s symbiotic nature...

Tune of the Sea
Listen closely and quietly on this starry filled night and you can hear the sea waves. Beating against the beach in rhythmic time stirring up the pebbles on the sea floor to dance the jingle and the jangle to the tune of the sea....

Fallen Sea Star
The chilly North Pacific: we build a fire for the moths, a lamplight. Their wings, angry with flames. Sky: dim and small. In your standing stillness, you are an old clock that has run out of chimes. The small hours of the past, a fossil, a nerve. I hand you a flask. You say: ‘August is dying. The stones are cold.’ In your hand, a dead...

I fell in love by the sea My heart was swept away Only to be set free Riding waves And raging torrents Funny how life behaves Caught in a net of wonder I search the stars And my heart grows fonder You kissed me in the moonlight You held me close Our love illuminated by starlight....

A Boatful of Hope
Day has sunk and the old fisherman, like a well-trained athlete, rows his rugged boat. Defying starry night's turbulent waves, It cruises seaward, smooth and swift, like an agile proud fish. Then, into his net a shooting star drops; hauls he a thousand delicate, bright starfish. Guided by remaining stars, he comes home with a boatful Of glimmering soft, fleshy...

The Absent Moon
Long wisps of fog rise into thin and vanishing clouds; from the East an aromatic wind scatters the flattened and broken-shells-covered-sand as dampness enters the bones and makes these feet sweat, still my deep footprints are seen below the boardwalk where I sat. Lovers hold hands and seek out their friend hiding somewhere beyond the swaying palm trees that seem to...
