Piecemeal, a Coronavirus Poem
Piecemeal, a Coronavirus poem
by Michael R. Burch
And so it begins—the ending.
The narrowing veins, the soft tissues rending.
Your final solution is pending.
(A pale Piggy-Wiggy
will discount your death as no biggie.)

Be Positive
Be positive
Ignor negative thoughts and be positive
Be cheerful and be sensitive
Always keep in mind one thing
Life is what whatever we sing
We know what nature preserve
One who fought must always serve
Clouds of sorrow will easily disappear
Smile on face when appear
After dark night comes fruitful day
It's a lesson of life must go this way...

Distances
Distances

Moonbeams on water —

now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter ...
So near, yet so far.

Desert Rain
On a day so dry, a maiden so forlorn
Silently whispered in the ears of dunes
That flew a million miles with breeze
Erasing the tiny footsteps unseen

for the sake of your Loved Ones
