Poems

William Burns


 

Haiku

white cloud ship sailing
air currents above the world
forgotten beeper

*

lost on a tangent
winter's cold breath frosts the window
sine of the times

William Burns (Millennium Artist) phased into existence in Washington DC circa early 1950's putting him on the trailing edge to the beautiful people of the late sixties. Bill is a strange confluence of degreed Electrical and Biomedical Engineer, graphic artist, actor, playwright, poet, father and husband, but his first love is poetry (OK, the kids are more important than poetry, but it runs a close second). "I am calling for a balance between Art and Engineering, Rhyme and Reason, Yin and Yang. Other than that I like to hike, act in plays (currently in _Skin of Our Teeth_) and drive on the Blueridge Parkway."
