Pandita Sietesantos Poet Free verse

The Hounds of Hell Released

The Hounds of Hell Released

Blood-spattered feathers on broken wings,
and the Age of Angels and Light was undone.
A black mantle of terror and darkness descended,
as the red-hot lips of hell opened wide, belching out 
war-thirsty hounds that shredded peace to pieces.

John Michaels November 26, 2023 at 6:17 AM Remarkable imagery, Pandita! I know this was posted some years ago but the title intrigued me and I was gripped immediately!! An awesome little story that's so much grander in the imagination than the five lines on the page! Kind regards, John.
