Best Fangs Poems
Under ghostly moon--
Bloody skeletons hang
Opening coffins
witches brew maggots in cauldrons
at the end of hooded dance
Shrieks from bleak alleys
Ruffle cobweb hairs
Medusa hunts for flesh
a shortening of pulses
mingles with children’s sweats
Pumpkin lanterns
expand knifed fangs
Loot bags ripping
from cracked windows of trickery
Halloween’s beat mounting, run!

The vampire bat
Morphing into Dracula
Returning to his grave, but
Still fresh blood on his fangs

Battling straight from the gate again today; flesh as
Spirit neck and neck down time's back stretch ? Historia's
Derby goo goo girls google boys; holding their collective breath
While His child flys with golden wings transcending to grasp the sky....
Beelzebube's banshees clinging tight joculars night red rums plight the price ?
Baby digging in taking all their sin; hitting stride on a midnight ride shifting gears
To gather these tears ? Pulling away towards Love's, Holy Day tongues wagging big birds lagging.

They inject their venom into my endless harmony
Killing me softly, I’m the walking dead, slowly towards my ceremony
You wont bury me because geographically, I’m a globe
Where my mind wonders, my pen will probe
The United Nations has uplifted my spirit
But this bleeding pen knowns no limits
Or is it the Mandela sprit in me?
Simply wanting to be free, or just plain lunacy?
Still there are some borders I dare not transit
Subjects beyond my comprehend I dare not debate
But these fangs don’t make it easy, they drive me crazy
Leave me empty, like vampires feeding, drained and drowsy
They strike especially when I’m busy
Leave with a huge chunk of my soul, they want me lazy
So I work endlessly, tenaciously
And walk nonstop to the very top intentionally, purposefully,
But sometimes, I find myself stumbling straight into the lion’s den
I write a ladder straight out of that black hole then (or write an antivenom)
To escape their callous, ravenous stares
Jealous critiques - hope you crack those fangs and succumb to your own venom - feeding on my flaws

I saw the black serpent on your hip
The way it slithered and perked to my tones
That way it sunk phantom fangs into my loins and bones with-
Not a sting; not a yelp; not a sound
True assassin with true poison
I come back for another charm dance
Don't let the charm fool you.
Fool for god.
God I am a fool.
I am not worthy to have you in my home, but only say the word
and I shall be healed
Fool me once and you can't fool me again.
Dark cobra be eaten by staff of wood
Charcoal slithery foe become smoke in black fire.
Demon return to your home chipping fangs in your gnashing
Get behind me and place your head beneath her foot.

The town children
Only feed at night
Never to face the sun
Dark eyes, emotionless smiles
Tongues darting across razor fangs
The town children
Hunt under the harvest moon
Until the shadows disappear
White pallid skin
Blood red lips
Beware o traveler
Of town children at night
Your desire to give aid
Will only lead you
To a bloody grave

Yes, they travel about the Soup!
Snakes that really do not like you.
What? Yes, they may even bite you!
Their cover is humor, mostly.
Innocent you, smiling, takes the bait.
Alas, you took the poison, tis too late!
Much outstanding humor written here!
By decent poets, I find quite safe and dear.
Be sure to check first, for a strange rattle
sound in your soul and in your ear!

FANGS OF FEAR
It is all because of the claws
The tawdry talons of temptation
It simply refuses to pause
And never comes to a cessation
What lurks beyond the bend won’t ever end
Around every corner it is fear that I find
Peace and harmony never seem to blend
When a song of enticement enters my mind
It is all due to my being so weak
It is all due to my not being strong
It is all due to my life seeming so bleak
And because too often I’ve been so very wrong
My mind reveals a facile fragility
Fragile is my psyche and soul
My ego possesses a damnable debility
And a lack of strength on the whole
It is all due to the fangs
The sharpened teeth of time
In the balance is where my future hangs
The balance between cruelty and crime

Web of sin
Web unseen
Evil done in the dark
Leaving hidden marks
Softly done
Guilt gone
Conscience sold
Truth untold
Things hidden in a closet
More awards to collect
No one needs to know
As long as it doesn’t show
Manipulating minds
A curtain they hide behind
Showing off artificial halos
Dangerous fellows!
They camouflage their horns
With pretty shiny crowns
They hide their fangs
Behind smiles and generous hands
But behind the closet doors
Lies a dungeon of horror
Truth unseen
So they continue to sin
Luring their prey
Serving promises with gold trays
They spin their webs
Catching millions in their web
With just one promise…fame!
A chance to be in the game
To run the world
And gain the world
Sugar on their lips
They roam the world
With hidden fangs
And generous hands

Free verse
Gleeful roses turn to sullen churls,
And virgin smiles of shyest brides
Soonest morph into widowed furls;
Sad victims of your ill-bladed tides.
Swearing lovers of staunchest troth
Must sample your bitterest swill too,
And forfeit bonds of grandest worth,
As you gaily gloat like vilest foes do.
Most ardent toilers all hours round
In shady hands fattest gains leave,
Mowed to abysses dark worlds far;
To aliens you their ripe labors give.
And not even sure-shooting hunters still,
Can with all probity wait to taste their kill.
Bards of sharpest wits and niftiest tropes,
Thus must bow and trim ink’s wild hopes.
Your dial’s dual fangs envenom all matter,
And you’re Joy’s most culpable Saboteur!

There is nothing like falling for a wolf.
To which you would do anything for.
After once wounding the wolf,
there is not a length you will go to repay the wolf.
For allowing his fangs in your neck
means his bite may redeem your sins.
So you let him bite and hope it is hard enough
to leave you unconscious of any sin you may have committed.
After all, the wolf knows better than a dumb bunny.

I remember now!
His name was the Crenshaw Cowboy!
He was the one who told me I descended from kings!
This is why I jump over the fence
Why I kick the fence
We pillaged and burned
Doing only what we needed to survive
So that we could one day tear the fence down and make peace
Or maybe I'm wrong and death is the only way not to kill.
