To feel the roaring air and warming sun
And riffle through their wardrobes once again . . . more

Werewolf
[c] R C Burnham
A werewolf howling in the dark
Tearing at my soul
Asking me which dog I'll feed
And which will I let go
The scratching comes from inside of me

The Scaffold
Superficial? The fragile scaffolding
Leant lightly on the tower's rising flanks -
A web of tubing, spigots, wooden planks,
Cross-braces, . . . more

We were there, at the edge.
Tough, weathered at an early age.
Did we give up, did we sacrifice?
Where were you, near the edge?
We survived, we fought for you.

Often, I write in free verse
It is easier for me to do.

You’ve beckoned with your baritone
And dishonestly crooned
An onerous poisoner
With crossbones festooned
You pardoned your prisoner briefly
And teased and postponed
But you’re a seasoned practitioner; . . . more

I don't have time
To write this rhyme

If some god you offer, i will kneel before and pray.
If some prayer you give, then let it be sweet and bring me absolution.
If absolution . . . more

"to answer your ad for the love of your life." . . . more

This is a poem I wrote a while back.
Time
Every second is precious
Yet it goes on for eternity.
You hold on to the moment,
But the hours pass you by.
It's callous hands strip away
All that you hold . . . more

destroy my reflection in the water
and forget my past.
I will drink the sweet water
from my cold palms and become young.
The water will run through my . . . more

Our rosin powders mingle in the case,
Where, fallen from the belly and the bow,
Each particle trapped in the velvet space
Becomes our common . . . more
