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.

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.

I like this, very dark. It could be a prequel to my poem As the crow flies! Great stuff

Your descriptive use of the English language and your suburb imagery are second to none. The descriptive wording and the great imagery bring this piece to life. Nicely put, well written with poetic skill and style. Emile.
