Thresha Reese Poet Free verse

Devil Dog

She rolls her eyes
and the Devil Dog
knows a subordinate
a savory dish
for her eyes
they deviate 
  
Jackals are gathered
to howl at Sirius
like satellites
they are called up 
below it
under its occult rising

The cohort is hoisted
the dole is allocated 
immaculate coercion
a spree of offerings
and favors are granted
torches are lit for burning

The ascendent is gifted
the starlet branded
abiding attendants are delighted
under her heliacal rising
Canicula is blazing.

Richard Evans December 22, 2023 at 6:37 AM Ominous and dark yet still able to trigger thought. Lovely verse my friend. All the best..............peace! Thresha Reese January 30, 2024 at 6:43 AM So, i looked at this poem again and made an edit to an overlooked typo. In the last sentence i changed Canigula to Canicula aka Serius the dog star. It's what i meant all along. Thresha Reese January 2, 2024 at 6:52 AM Ty for the read and encouraging comment. All the best to you as well :-)
