Listening to heavy metal music is so awesome, it's like I'm in a mosh pit. It's also as if
I'm at an underground concert in New york City, on Saturday nights. When I'm listening to
a lot of metal music, it's like being in a giant pit of inferno. I can feel the adrenaline
through my brainwaves. And...

The heavy metal series of poetry demonstrates an inner ability to speak words of 
kindness; Toward the resolve of the 1980's heavy metal scene; To demonstrate a 
reasonable high calibur of interest; To the average novice of intellect, It's plausible 
words ring in the ears;

The term "heavy metal" was coined to describe the loud, driving, guitar-based music popularized in the late 1960s. Over the years, bands have added new connotations to the term. A group called Black Sabbath combined heavy-metal music with occult symbols and odes to the Devil. A few years later, a band named KISS set new...

Masquerading neath bitter angst,
nobody loves this neurotic 
Sympathize—empathize with me
pleading, bleeding, but no one listens           
Though, pleasing is the clown 
with Infectious Grooves
with an unbridled force of his own inertia
with Suicidal Tendencies
Led headed, heavy metals
        P-o-i-s-o-n-i-n-G
‘Round goes a...

Heavy Metal Sunshine.

My Heavy Metal Sun shines alight,
Up above me in the morning light.
Tequila sunrise, burns my eyes;
Another wonderful day to wake up in paradise.


My beautiful bride, captures my heart,
As she shimmers in the Heavy Metal Sun’s rays.
Her beautiful mind, shines as bright as the son;
In the darkness, the sun lights up her face.


Her dress...

Politics have swallowed his laughter and smile
he's deaf to any other point of view
head banging like a heavy metal crocodile
while stroking a harp from his pristine pew

His bitterness is like a pissed off tarantula
fangs raised high above star-spangled heads
of those with a different colored mantra
he labels all of them the living dead.
 
In another time...

The stage will be filled with a lot of heavy metal music bands and a lot of fireworks. If
I were a heavy metal maestro, I'd go on a world tour, that includes Canada. I'd also make
a life-changing performance in the United Kingdom. For the props for a heavy metal opera,
I'll have actors and actresses portray...

New Mirror
The heavy metal guy looked perfect
With his long black girl like hair 
With his round black John Lennon shades
With his black SpecFor combat trousers 
With his black Doc Martin boots
With his phone’s black metal music 
With his black heavy metal band t-shirt
With his long black sleeve shirt
With his ring with a black stone
With his...

I was driving our new bus down a rural lane
Potholes, rocks, the bus began to complain
GPS didn't reach, I told the rock band
As we bumped along in no man's land.

This will wreck my guitar, said Tony the Rock:
Don't they make tour buses with at least one shock?
The drums were colliding, the keyboard took a spill
The...

Ghost brother moaning away.
Head bobbing psychopath.
Come closer you! Come closer!
Shak’n those shoulders.
Like some weird demon.
Head bobb’n. Nodd’n psychopath you.


Ghost brother, we’re coming.
Stand back, I warn.
We’re closing in. We’ll laugh and watch.
We’re bringing the fire.
Devil is along for the ride.
Shak’n those shoulders.
Stomp. Stomp Stomp.
Head bobb’n Nodd’n psychopath you! 

Be afraid you eerie prancing, dancing fool.
Death march...

Villanelle of a Metal Queen (c) 2025 by Russ Dodson

I just don't know where else to start
to tell you of this love of mine
she is the beating of my heart

these feelings that I must decline
I just don't know where else to start

the memories both sweet and tart
hold feelings that I would enshrine	
she is the beating...

Old School Cool (c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair

She's hot, yes, but she's also cool
she is a gem, she is a jewel
I think she's great (and I'm no fool)
she beats those drums like she's old school

she pounds those skins, sometimes it's funny
she hits them like they owe her money
and one thing more I'll tell you...
