light yellow and then some
a little extra i know
this isn't real flavoring

you don't get to question it
if you aren't even real with me

Frisson

Lost in the empty crowd,
Searching for your eyes,
Questing for sweet recognition,
A face to call home.

‘In spite of its romantic frisson, the position of muse is very vague and largely thankless for the muse herself.’
- Katie Roiphe, In Praise of Messy Lives

Pellinore’s Fancy

Pellinore’s Fancy
by Michael R. Burch

King Pellinore was famous for hunting the Questing Beast, a rather odd, fantastical creature. Does its name suggest that the beast was dreamed up, or invented for the purpose of questing after it? Perhaps Pellinore simply didn’t want to stay home and needed a good (if farfetched) excuse to furnish his wife . . .

What do you do when your wife is a nag
and has sworn you to hunt neither fish, fowl, nor stag?
When the land is at peace, but at home you have none,
Is that, perchance, when ... the Questing Beasts run?

The Search (Constanza Poem)

the search has earnestly begun
to find an effective treatment
that'll stymie the blighting torment

scientists are on a questing run
in pursuing a vaccine's whack
which shall cease the viral attack

our globe received a hard stun
as its contagion did spread far
striking many countries with a jar

the sooner the trialing is spun
its success shall uplift us all
from a world laden by a pall

future days will be lit in sun
on testing labs scotching the bug
that has been relentless of slug

the search has earnestly begun
scientists are on a questing run
our globe received a hard stun
the sooner the trialing is spun
future days will be lit in sun
