Best Howling Poems

American Indian, Nightshades, Moonshadows And Howling Wolf

Thirsty for red moon, its sacred beams and eternal pull
howling-out to speak to this dark and blind world, without fear;
Your echoes enter, soulful bones of insightful red man
birthing growing urges to return and run truly free,
falling upon ancient trails,...

Howling
Like the wolf cries
Screaming foreboding skies
Yelling for your love till sunrise
The erring echoes of your love reprise
Tangled tears that follow surmise
Bitter sorrows capsize
With empty eyes
Howling

Death, the howling, moaning wind
The dying can't ignore--
It scratches at the window pane
And slaps the shudder door.

Then cruelly taps upon the roof
With incessant, mocking strain--
And stops, but only for a breath,
Then begins to howl again....

The feeling of your touch 
I know it in the brush of the wind
The heat of the sun
Sweeping down on my skin
A reasurrace of a hand on my shoulder
A tear wiped away
As it fell from the sky
I know much about you
Like your cowboys and indians
And...

HOWLING OF HUMIDITY

No wind blows.
The sweat of a dandelion,
No seeds sold
To the gardener there.
No planting of pretty peacocks.
Umbrella wide above the sun,
Puddles gather but don’t sink
To the humid earth,
Dusty red and brown.
Flooded with handheld fans,
Flowers alive on origami paper,
Promises of windswept dreams
Of a lazy Southern...

Eyes like a bright moon
Howls shatter the silent night
Messages from wolves...

I just can't think,
Or write,
Or eat,
Or sleep.

No longer fight,
To breathe,
Or cry,
And weep.

All that I own,
Believe in,
Worked for,
Has died.

Annihilating,
My morals,
Trust,
And faith inside.

This has very little to do with cost,
A couple of dollars is the least I've lost,
Their piggy banks haven't been bust,
What hurts me more is...

It was a howling good night for a pumpkin fight.
The cats were ready, their witches soon would alight.
The woods were aglow with lit cauldrons so bright. 
Halloween Eve was prancing about, a marvelous sight.

How many pumpkins will we need for the fright?
Asked Merlonia, the head...

My writing gets wavy and I bet it would annoy some perfectionists out there.

I’m annoying but I don’t care right now.

They hate me, so I write about that too.

The tree outside is weird and funny and bouncy.

So I scribble a tree and the tree has...

WOLVES HOWLING AT THE MOON

Late at night when the moon shines bright
You may hear a sound that makes you chill
The wolves are howling at the moon again
From atop the ridge on Devil's Hill

The wolves for countless ages past
Have practiced this unanswered ordeal
This happens when the...

Black market product truckload ... 
illegal cargo of tax-free merchandise,
and plenty boxed liquor of trouble
Leather clad tattooed dirty violet blonde
riding shotgun,
with a Rambo knife hugging her thigh
In the cab backseat
sit two mountain men beastie boys
strapped to the teeth
Listening to Valhalla volume 
Judas Priest death metal...

The beard line came within a 1/4" from a field of chest hair and called a truce on this wild mop headed man-child who spoke with such decibel excitement his voice waned from totally cracking up to a young southern officer's bass drawl.  Demandingly...

I fondly remember a lady named Karen
Each morning at 7:00 we had a howling session
Much silliness galore
Whatever was in store
I remember those days with great affection

I am a wolf lover
I am simply an observer from afar
I looked up at the moon
Imagining your howling to keep me attuned

Moon is your vision in howling message
Vikings always wore your skin at winter’s rage
Blood was taken to compensate for lost courage in the battle
They...

Your dog has an indispensable dispatch,
a critical communique.
Are you listening?

Your dog is howling at sirens,
		          annoying all your neighbors.
Have you noticed?

Your dog’s evolutionary chain from wolves,
			    a prescriptive instinct.
Are you appreciating?

Your dog’s howling...
