Rhyme Writing Poems

This is a poem for my heart's desire
An angel dancing through heaven's light
Whose presence sets my soul afire
And turns my darkness into bright

This is a...

Hollow

In shadows deep, I find myself ensnared,
A wanderer adrift, with naught but despair.
Each step I took, now lost to time’s cruel hand,
No trace remains of...

Ghostwriter
Alone mostly.
Writing poetry.
Orange flames burning.
Always drinking coffee.
Next poem to write.
Black ink runs off the pages.
Fill in blank spaces.
Sometimes, there is no food to eat.
No worries.

Without his intervention I could have been a grieving wife
I admit that I detested reading...

Time Worth
Don’t waste time.
Stay open minded.
What is time worth.
Take a look in the mirror.
Write yourself a new letter.
Take notes.
Get to work.

Life is short.
Time waits...

Telegram
Just a messenger.
Not a preacher.
Through life experiences.
Open to criticism.
Always learning.
Always writing.
With syllables.
Painting pictures.
Be up-lifting.
Not drowning.
A good listener.
A friend to lean on.
Like orchards.
Planting goodness.
Just a telegram.
Passing...

Bookworm
Nerd out.
Calm down.
Drink coffee.
No worries.
Sink into a book.
Turn to another page.
Colorful thoughts.
Imagination.
A journey of many books.
Story keeps burning.
Keep on reading.
This is our O.C.D.
Book mark, hold...

Elegy
Lament for the dead.
Thine cadence reflections.
Pondered midnight dreary.
Yellow paper, old poetry.
Rhythm slither.
Yesterday, I remember.
You're not far away.
Through grif, all wait.
Face to face one day.
Alone in...

After the Poetry Recital
by Michael R. Burch

Later there’ll be talk of saving whales
over racks of lamb and flambéed snails.

I read her old letters from time to time
Hoping one day she may still write
Pretending she's still just miles away
I'll send my letters out anyway

Death By Coffee
Wake up to a cup of death by coffee.
Have I lost my mind?
My eyes are heavy.
Am I going insane?
I’m seeing things.
It was just...

Once you set a poem free,

it’s out for all the world to see

So make sure when you’re writing

That you’re giving your everything

This can never be...

Empty Thoughts
No poems for three days.
My mind was empty.
Lost for words.
No brain cells.
Lost in the clouds.
I’m in-time out.
Forget how to write.
Someone turned on the light.

To write a mad song takes
so very little time:
just jot some words
not too absurd
and make sure that some rhyme.

The first line stands alone;
the next rhymes...

Don't know if people like what I have to say
I'm not writing for pay
So I write my own way
In my mind
I find
A swirling
Whirling 
Chaotic mess...
