Making Love I see us in front of the fireplace smoldering licking flames that dance, that passionate dance. Over each log that rolls without moving, like I move And you roll when we are logs together and on fire. Stacked for the beauty of heat and the warmth Of the hearth in both our hearts That no...

Miles of sky -new poem 4/24/7
Miles of sky Blue highway is what the birds call it. Aviation traffics clouds in patterns that remind us of relatives who stay too long -leave slowly; of some people who talk my ears to the ground until stems flower, sprout in both these ear drums like weeds on a rampage.

Another love poem
Summer Bask up the sun When it rays on your skin Like a lover loves to touch And the heat from that caress tans The milk in your skin brown And the glow of that red undertone Makes me hot and my blood rises To the occasion Of your summons To love.

A short new poem written today 4/20/7
The Jussive This crease curves straight right around the sun with a thin yellow line. Careful do not touch its hot and fire lives inside of light and light just needs the word, "light" and the jussive, "let there be..." Michael D. Brown Sign in to see full entry.
One of my all time favorites:Technique
This is one of my personal favorites. I'd love to hear what you poetry writers and readers think. Share your thoughts. Technique I measure the combination of words when I write poetry by infinity. I think to count words for every star in every galaxy For every grain of sand that wants to be numbered... Sign in to see full entry.

"Losing you", for the victims and the families of Virginia Tech
This poem is for the families grieving over the loss of their precious family and friends. My prayers are with you. I also lost my sister in a senseless killing. There really are no words that bring much comfort. I am sharing these two poems which have been therapeutic for me. Losing You Defeats the... Sign in to see full entry.
