During the day, I'm an electrical engineer. At night, I'm a writer. I mainly write poetry for kids and teens, but I have some works for older people too. I also do my own illustrations. Inspiration comes from everywhere, but science, my children, and humor are my favorite topics. Visit my website bcbyron.com for weekly poems and hand-drawn illustrations and also stay tuned for more submissions at this site. The everyday things become a poem, When you look real hard And get to know 'em. If you haven't got eyes to see that, Then maybe you should grow 'em. -B.C. Byron

Death to the Poet

Death to the poet who opened our eyes
The silvery tongue that outed our lies
Death to the poet who pulled the disguise
And made all the sleepers arise

The lion of lines
The writer of right
The one whose letters carry more bite
Than the...

A Weed Grown Through Concrete

Sprouted through a narrow channel,
Squeezed along the way.
Thirsty, withered, rooted shallow,
Reaching for the day.
Pushing upward,
No retreat,
A weed grown through concrete.

Now above the solid ground,
Triumph won through pain,
Exposed...

The Weather of the Mind

I saw a foggy figure
That was swimming in the wind.
The air was pushing back on him
And ripping at the skin.
So bent beneath the heavy rain
That hammered on his thought,
He'd lost himself in storminess
And shiny days forgot.
He was digging...

The Manners of a Mushroom

Mushrooms are considerate,
I've never heard one cuss.
I've never heard one raise its voice,
Or make unpleasant fuss.
They'll never interrupt you
When you're trying to make a point.
They won't mock your opinions,
Or get noses out of joint.

Fall With Me

The leaves are brightest before they fall,
Their colors change with age.
To only live a year in all
Seems such a paltry wage.
But time is paid them evenly,
The same each generation.
Our seasons change erratically
Before the separation.
A...

There's nothing like a well-timed, sassy zinger. I can relate to this poem, but it also makes me think of all the time we waste stewing on the perfect comeback to boost our own ego. All the while we are really sticking it to ourselves by imprisoning our minds in the past.

So relevant to our time, and downright hilarious. This may very well be relabeled as "Nearly every social movent of the past 10 years".
It's so good to know I'm not the only one who is part of the problem.

A love song to a Pokemon card, written with so much emotion. A clever parody of the sappy love poems we so often see. Brings a smile to my face.

Rhythm and rhyme are well-crafted and add to the story. It also has a positive message of humility that I find appealing. This poem shows time spent, thoughtfulness, and emotion without breaking its flow even once.
