Sunbathe Poems

Sad eye lady,
don’t be afraid to come to me
Let your past tears
fall upon my shoulders freely
My embrace, please don’t shun

Crying woman,
I can see why you trust no one
Only bad things seem to ever happen
when you open up your heart
All your...Read More

Burn
by Michael R. Burch

for Trump

Sunbathe,
ozone baby,
till your parched skin cracks
in the white-hot flash
of radiation.

Incantation
from your pale parched lips
shall not avail;
you made this hell.
Now burn....Read More

Wanting to get up in time to applaud a new sun rising
Over the serenity of an idle sleepy lake
As its blanket of fog rolls off into the horizon
While breathing perfumes of somnolent pines and grasses
Peppered with sharp contrast of the...Read More

I love the hot summer sunshine
and the colourful garden flowers
I can sunbathe on my large patio
and write poetry for many hours!

I love to pick fruit in my garden
I’ve got netting to keep off the birds
They still manage to peck my...Read More

wildflower meadow
as tall as a muntjac
cuckoo cuckooing
-
farmers haymaking
grasshoppers stridulating
don't touch a stinkbug
-
wood admiral glides
honeysuckle its host plant
humid the hot nights
-
warm is the river
fish rising leaping for flies
life seeking cool shade
-
inverted swimmers
water boatmen taking in air
cygnets follow pen
-
as fall approaches
swifts are...Read More

Everyone she meets want to
sunbathe in her smiley face
My happy-go-lucky girl
with the sexy turnabout twirl
She’s got a wooing walking way,
sensual sway ... sultry sashay
And my adjectives get jealous
about her everyday
Office chatter gets whisper low
when my girl arrives
Top-of-the-morning goes spinning
fast into...Read More

Chaos erupted in beds of trucks
As victims ran and ducked, fragile
And scared, as if the gunman cared
As hot projectile tore through 59 souls
While another madman’s wicked 
Intentions remain untold, as to why 59 had
To die...enthralled in fun, frantic they run
Or...Read More

There amidst the Sunday throngs,
People sunbathe in their thongs.
Passersby are few who lack
The will to just ignore the crack.

Since it is a public park,
There for all from dawn ‘til dark,
There will always be some nuts
And displayers of their butts.

Freedom has...Read More

The idiosyncracies of a diary entry is a zone of unauthorized review. And subsequent beatings of coconut trees can be viewed as no sport. But leaning heavier than most on a barrier is most definitely a sign of acute tiredness....Read More

A large bowl, a portion of meat, and a six foot ladle were out one day on a country walk.  Playing with pebbles on a distant shore were the radiant seahorses. Dressed in hoop skirts. No time to sunbathe....Read More

Why shave?
Why bathe?
Why behave?

Should a man let self-maintenance make him a slave?
If he bucks expectation, will all think him depraved?

Perhaps think about starting a hippie enclave…
Where the bathtubs are puddles and the streets are unpaved.

But no, I like smart phones...Read More

>I do not know if this classifies as poem as it is slightly religiously, political.


Muslims here, Muslims, there.
From Turkey might soon be everywhere.
Will they be from that peaceful faith?
And full of love, full of faith.
Turkey, if such a nice place.
None...Read More

The timely excuse for an otter is not to entertain. It is to sunbathe on a towel. Meetings with alligators should be assessed by the writhing tides of a single thought. When dressing a whale always take care. And when...Read More

The whiskers on a spotty dog are often akin to the stripes on blankets. And don't let it be said that onion peel is best served in a mustard bath with banana slices. Oh wow a drooping drip of a...Read More

A preconception in my mind
Of a nudist beach in the sun
Men of pervy persuasion 
Roam the sands 
Eyes behind dark glasses
Men with their dangly bits 
A display of exhibitionism?
A desire to be seen?
A legalised flasher with no coat
Or a haven...Read More

I'd love to live a sea life,
there's just so much to do.
It would never ever be boring,
in the deep deep ocean blue.

I could juggle with clownfish,
sunbathe with the rays,
take off with the pilot whales,
and go blading with skates

Blow balloons with...Read More

 Paper whites peek through brown terrain;
the newborns of spring.
Between day lilies tiny weeds sneak by and in another bed,
young tulips return from their slumber 
to greet waking irises.

Fruit trees will soon stretch their 
bud-heads to brother Sun.
Roses freshen the...Read More

The noon sunray squeezes my eyes,
Viewing the snowy mountain heights,
Under immense blue screen:
What a nice shiny scene!

The birds sunbathe their wings in high;
First rain left few flowers drip-dry;
The yellow and brown foliage
Shade the shrubs of wood sage.

The sunray chills the...Read More

Took a short walk
Down a long path
Winding in curves,
Seemed to be endless

Greenery kept my eyes occupied
And my mind busy
With thoughts as rich as the color

Summer winds,
Press against my cheeks
Flow through my hair
And to whatever is next

Approaching a pond,
Murky waters
Fish, birds,...Read More

""Child's Play""

You go down like rain,
A wishing star in disguise, 
You scream bloody murder 
-the perfect two face disgrace
Your lips forever stain and reside with Benedict A 
Your eyes hide the truth, like a lost domain in space 

Darling, that...Read More

Only place in summer that I want to be
Now I have time to relax and be with the family
 
Taking time out to sunbathe in the golden sun
Happy times paddling in the sea is such fabulous fun
Even getting sand in...Read More

January juxtapose
More cold now
Beyond hot heat!


Cold cold air
Windy surprise;
Minus heat therapy?


Winding way whirls
Shiver seeding shiver
January jostling juice


Lotus sunbathe --
Muddy pond flavours
Mid-afternoon glare


Misdirected
Whim and fancy;
Windy detours


New year in late January,
Oozing days forfeit;
Scent of the times!


Why do I
Reason with reason;
To justify nothing


Wind...Read More

This frigid weather is getting me down
Was planning to sunbathe today
Perhaps I won't with temps in the minus
Skin freezes in 30 seconds they say

Maybe it's better if I wait 4 or 5 months
Sunburn is better than freezer burn
Besides my bikini...Read More

I could lose myself to us,
wiggle my toes in the grassy blades
of our colloquy,
sunbathe beneath the wild heat
of your latest exclamation,

pant at its flame

Your words lick my spine
like a possessive lover,
branding me with their claims

I burn too deep, Blue

It feels...Read More

Forceful ray printing dark skin
Sunbathe, aquarium sky
Peaceful trace beautiful line 
Sun comes alive

**Hourglass Horizon**

We sit embracing sweet time
Beautiful amber lit eyes
Red dawn mist, loving moment
Holding mommy's hand
