Dr.Michael Brown Poems

In the beginning God created the rules and the principles

That would govern His metrical composition.
...

I hold you in my arms

the heat of your body
...

Men lining the path before the falls, kneel
with diamond rings
to ask women they love a question;
no one falls from the sky
...

If I were interested you wouldn't have to ask,
to cajole, the bribe is too low, even if I
could be persuaded to reestablish boundary lines
to accept your limited time offer, I respectfully decline,
...

Neither wind showing leaves how to swirl,
nor rain falling in its favorite direction,
but my determination to go against
the downward pull that gathers flesh
...
