Best Hounds Poems


Hounds of Yesterday
There’s a howling in the air tonight
A baying at the moon
For the hound is running free again
And his voice has joined the tune
Of a thousand other voices
That echo through the years
And a certain blue-tick calling
– She’s calling through my tears

They’re in the backwoods running now
Like...

Hounds From Hell
Hounds from Hell take their toll on your soul
as you walk the mainstreet of mainstream
and watch Saturn and Neptune dance to a simple tone
of silence in the outer space.
As you sit in the middle of the world
alone;
free yourself from the sense of hopelessness,
only see yourself...

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.

Premium Member The Hounds Are Barking Still
My slumber knows no measure...
There be no sleep for me.
The hounds are barking through the night
For immortality.

I toss them a leg of hubris
And a banal cliche for slight effect.
But their hunger goes unsated...
I lay waste my self-respect.

A few platitudes and twaddle
Are quickly gobbled by the...

Premium Member The Hounds of Hell
Summer’s almost over - that convalescent state
where successive modes of pleasure
were the order of the day.
Now fall commands awakening -
drive simplicity away! The hounds
of hell are yelping that it’s time to banish play.
They cry “forget unscheduled hours 
that owned no share of care - the...

Hounds
Onward then does Time ascend the eons it does build
Within the endless void of space which never shall be filled

Deep within the eons past, a Potency there compels
Horrors be extended from Evils which are Hells’

And herein do I dwell within Hell’s castle keep
With keys I...

Sonnet Doubles, A Poet's Deeper Thoughts 

I Will Not Fiddle To New Hollow Tunes

I will not play fiddle to hollow tune
nor beg day, be lit by pale light of moon
life to have worth, must not be so deceived
for with truth suffering can be relieved.
This heart...

Saturday Night Hounds
They climbed
resuming the mongrel form, 
The twelve.
A catcalling mob
burdened by sympathetic stimulants, 
Procured from the neck.
Yippering yowls 
break from a youth, 
Torn from thick, incongruous lips.
As a pack
they leap onto the quivering metal, 
Slender paws slapping on ice.
Ice all round; 
leering...over bearing... ungracious ice
To aid...

Morrigan's Hounds
Be sure your deeds do not awaken,
The Morrigan and her hellhounds,
As then, your soul is forsaken!

So deep within conscious abyss,
Where the secrets of dreams reside,
Devoid of innocent remiss.

Avenging huntress comes alive,
With straining hounds that call the night
As she seeks who cannot survive.

Her eyes are watching...

Unleash the Hounds

Unleash

Unleash the hounds

Unleash the hounds, said Jones and frowned,
His wife was then escaping,
Running off with grandpa Joesy  Brown,
And his bloody teeth were shaking,

Sprang in the swamp a Croc. did chomp,
I’ll talk about it later,
Jonesy’s wife, was on for a romp,
Was she a...

Hounds of Hell
Federal infirmary
Cuckoos counting the clock
Helicopter choppers
And interstate police

My baby was thin skinned
Brain drained and paranoid

The cops came to the place
Knocking like street busters
I was sitting cosey like ghostbusters
Door frame, and the letter of the law

This game no more
Dont need to provoke or prove a point
Leave...

Hounds Tooth
Out of her hounds tooth, slanderous slobber
Utilizing her foot paws, she toenails the ice
Transcending into the deep, would surely silence her
Save her chattering mouth tick, accompanied by cracks
Imagining each step twice, she cautions
Daring looks backward for telling traces of breakage
Evil had yet seen what lurks...
