Morgan Michaels Poems

It is evening, the clouds mass goldenly in the West.
I have been doing garden patrol-
the perfect antidote to a long day's work.
By this time there has been considerable cooling
...

Given their current scarcity
you'll be surprised to learn
how they once crowded the sky
as thickly as swifts at eventide
...

In their blue-black coats,
a sun-splash for an epaulet,
they're tasty this year,
extra glossy fat:
...

The cherries were having a year.
So many there were
rolling around on the counter-top, it was almost a pity.
...

In the morning, it's true,
Money's worth more than Time.
or who'd do the things they do?
...

One kiss to last the night?
That's a bit stingy, dear,
and not right.
What do you think this is- King Lear?
...

Man, to purchase back his bond
is set two vast, rich Fields to plow
clear, manure and sow
with all the tools of his mind;

A Books! Too many books!

B Yep. We've collected a few, over the years.
