Under Soft Moonlit Skies, Lonely Howls Heard

Within wolfen heart, her hellish hunger arose,
ultimate power to destroy as yet unknown-
she lit her candle and caressed a red rose
crying in the light, far away her dreams had blown,
yet mercy and future shed a torrent of tears-
as streams formed, away melted life's darkest fears.

Watching as golden moon, its...

Dream of Me As Richard Brautigan, the Hat Howls
In the digitimes of trout streams full of numbers, 
I’m the dark echo of a moon-ringing splash-machine
named 567-3389, my old phone number,
that crazy pet of howling crisis I’m 
nursing now with my tender planted hands 
and my tender planted ears 
full of dark echo
and soil.

Sure, my life now is an echo of singing numbers 
transformed...

Premium Member The Wolf Howls To Be Shepherd
This is power in words that speak the truth 
begging to the bone of its essence cold justice 
a brain washed mass of society have followed the pied piper 
when certain rights have been removed 
time is running out for real democracy 
to be in any shade effective 
corruption is the source of chaos 
when...

The Wolf Howls At Night
The wolf howls in the night
To this day I'm not certain why

Maybe because the pack is asleep
Maybe time passed him by

Maybe because he lost a soulmate
Maybe because of the food that he ate

Maybe because he defended his own
Maybe because he just feels so alone

Now the last one is tough cuz there's others around
But when the...

Poetic Endeavours Are Not Meant To Cure Us. Part 6-Howls.
I hear howling wolves growling in the gutter.
Rivers of torn flesh pour forth from the gates of sin.
Philanthropists boast with a nasal mutter.
Subliminal shrieks create a rising din.

I sit rigid in suspended animation.
Skin pulled apart by great demonic wolves.
A punishment I shall soon double in revenge....

The Dark Wood
In that wood so dark and deep 
where ne'er but silent shadows sleep 
there spectral images e'er do creep
in that darkened wood so deep
In that wood of shadows long 
where ghouls and ogres there do throng
there where spells are cast in song
there in that wood of shadows long
In that wood so still and dark 
where...

Silent Howls - a Warewolf's Tale
Moon's gleam flooding the dusk
    lighten the heavens and hell alike;
He feared no more as his spirit demised
    submitting to shadows, thinning the wike;
He has no soul to shed a tear,
    for his first prey had bore their heir;
Memories haunt the maddened slave
   ...

Premium Member Awaken To the Biting Wind Howls
Awaken to the biting wind howls 
while the sky darkened and the thunder scowls.

The distance sounds of birds flock across the darkened sky. 
Sounds of crunching over the earth startled awake an owl to fly.

Flash of lighting then the sound, sending waves of fear, a pulsing heart;
 lost in the darkness, of pounding rain, and...

like a round brass gong
afternoon sun burns in sky~
tarmac road steaming

dry leaves swirl around
canals and pools lie distraught~
lands yawn, mouths open...

Though his tone is quite gregarious
And his intent softly nefarious
He is ever so meek
His tongue in his cheek
His double entendre hilarious

Light Cowers As Darkness Howls At the Night
Well I just can't decide
 if I wanna live or I'm gonna die
It's hurting like a disease
 and I really need to fly
So I'm searching for a reason
 to give life one more try
But all I get is pain
 disappointment yet again
      So it seems like it's the time, to...

A Curious Cluster of Whispers and Howls
What still life, in words upon the page?
Yet animated in rhythms of the tongue

Soft-mouthed or read aloud, in unison
Spoken in solitude or rising like the tide 
In the ribcages of a thousand men

Some skilled orator
With the heartbeat of a nation in his hands

A silent offering from the lips
Of midnight prayer

A lover's vow
A battle song

What meaning...

Poetry Howls
When I first heard of “poetry howls,” I said to myself, “how sad”; is poetry meant to wake the dead or liven the living (though I’ve read of the living dead)?  haven’t we enough noise around to confound and confuse a universe of smaller sounds, en train thoughts, low sung birds?  haven’t we...

The wolf howls
An innocent, painful cry
Mocking the lamb
Soft is it’s wool
Grass is in its mouth

Deception in its eyes 
Lies, despised  
Cold as winter’s snow
It’s colors shall come to light
Straw, stick and brick
It sought the three little pigs 
Pink, bubble gum is its shade
Plump ,jelly and merry are they

It eats the still beating heart
A...
