Briefs Poem by Morgan Michaels

Those darn Greeks were right-
Enjoy everything but enjoy
in moderation.


For Burns' birthday Duncan
Of Edinborough read.
Why have the imitation
when you can have the masterpiece?


The Past-morals and ideals
murky and opinioned
at worst, but for architecture
undeniably interesting.


Fluent in English, having impulses
and not knowing what else to do
Jon dubbed himself a poet-
gifting the world
with countless examples of his art.


Late for her tryst with Mars
Venus twinkles in-
Nightime otherwise calm and chill.


From fifty centuries of soiled morals
(read agricultural)
Edna struggles to be free
and has almost made it.
