     Perched on mountain peak

       a fearsome eye

Pilot

Flying high he scans the sky,
Fighting hard to destroy such lies,
Always giving the mightest try,
And never asking the reasons why....

Remission

Lucky is the Patient 
The Doctor comes to tell
Good news
The scans
Say 
Your Cancer has gone
Your prayers have been answered 
You are in remission...

Release In a Pen

An extension of man
His thoughts it scans
The mind it maps
His ideas in a can

The cursor blinks
So he can plan
His ideas he types
His release in a pen...

Her Far-Off Look

in lobes, winnowed fans
far-off look scans the future
flight of butterflies
tease, tickles eyes, curious
beauty in obscurity

Blessed Be the One Who Reads What I Write

When I write,
life becomes a party...
 I bless that one
that my verse comments.
Blessed  is the eye that reads
my poetry, and study it...
Blessed is the being that
 comprehends my deep inside,
 scans my soul... !...

Kirstie

Kicking them around in this game
Is not something she would do.
Running away from something new
Scans a false image of her frame.
Traces of heed fit her instead.
I prefer going to what she said.
Enough imagery of the clone....

Two Kinds of Poets

The Timeless and the Timely are so close and yet so far,
The former scans beyond the Earth and sees the farthest star.

The latter reads the fashions of the fleeting trends today.
Tailoring his poems, fearing what the critics say....

The Eagle

The Eagle

An
eagle
in a tree
cocking its head
scans its surroundings
searching for meat to eat
amid the torridity
under a cloudless summer sky
while the sun’s rays reflect from the lake
on a windless day in the wilderness....

love flies with blue plumes

City Dawn

Predawn avenues hear
concrete whispers.
Dark voices echo as the
rising sun
replenishes thousands of cities
with warmth.

Midtown sleeps as
a love song of the night
is heard in the shadows;
haze of mists
scans the streets
and covers the park in peace....

Books

Rich is the man who reads and scans,
Know habit can amass bold trends.


Wise ways work well if you but dwell,
In simple spells soul truly tells.


So take a look in placid nooks,
From lively books know sensuous hooks.

Not So Remote

a sestet

Looking for that place beyond his memory, 
he scans time and space within the room's debris 
waiving the embrace requiring energy.
Twisting in the settee, he finds it in his lap 
clicking uselessly  - alas! it has no zap 
Lacking battery!  how will he take his nap?...

Much Clearer

breath, don't stop, don't
come any closer
than you've come (here,
now) slide thru teeth
-how, haven't you,
what could- 
brood, mind, revel
; the shovel stands
scans the mud,
dances deeper.
stars sliced light
into eyes, much clearer
; please, night, 
trust, hold on tight....

Doctor's Orders

Physician’s convictions to poison their patients,
Procedures with Ether, cold X-Ray stations 
A thousand scans in milligrams, 
Lobotomies and Amputations…
 
Surgeries to transform me, 
Imperfections to augment 
Blood Transfusions, concussions, contusions- 
For just a small improvement!...

Sounds

See if you can
Hear what goes round
As your mind scans
A glimpse you found.


Hear the stray feel
In shades and tints
As time now grills
A touch that hints.


Sense a fond sight
Where colours stream
With vivid light
In surreal dream.

Eagle

blocks sun with wing clouds

                               scans the brow of frozen lake...,

                                      talons hooked a fish

Tremble

Tremble
by Michael R. Burch
 
Her predatory eye,
the single feral iris,
scans.
 
Her raptor beak,
all jagged sharp-edged thrust,
juts.
 
Her hard talon,
clenched in pinched expectation,
waits.
 
Her clipped wings,
preened against reality,
tremble.

Sideshow

Across the sawdust circus ground
Where bells and penny whistles sound,
The gypsy reads your fate for gold,
Good fortune, or dire doom, foretold.

She scans the stars, consults the gods,
And reckons up your life-death odds:
You tremble at what lies in store,
Then stumble from her tent front door…...

Fancy

Be willing now
To live your vow.


Be who you are
An unknown star.


Be wise to feel
That magic heals.


Be the man grand
Who understands.


Be beyond blame
To niche fond name.


Be a bold man
Who walks and scans.


Be present now
As joy endows.
