Poems by Michael Burch
She Gathered Lilacs, for Beth
... gauntlet thorns guard her heart like the rose ...
Mothers Smile
... or my wife, Elizabeth Harris Burch, and my mother, Christine Ena BurchThere never was a fonder smile ...
The Desk, for Jeremy
... One thing, thoughone swirling autumn, one bright snow, ...
A True Story, for Jeremy
... So very hard across her yardthe bat that boomed a mighty THWACK! ...
