The Bloodhound that Could Sew
Off course I avoid you.
Why would I want to be around a blood hound
sniffing around - looking for faults.
I know what and where my faults are
because I keep slipping into the same ones.
You bloodhounds may have good sniffers
but the eyesight not so much...
or you would have noticed
that my faults are not as wide

The Bloodhound
The Bloodhound.
He’s coming, yes he’s coming I know he is
I can smell him I know I can, Oh that bad scent
You’d think he’d stop rubbing himself in it.
But I love him I love him I love him, he is my master
I getting a hint of gun oil now, this means only one

The Bloodhound
Proud of having in veins Anglo-Scottish blood,
hound is the suitable surname I have earned
for the tireless tracking instinct ingrained in me,
an exclusive pedigree of rare gene manifest in
razor-edge sharpness of a keen sense of smell,
captured by profuse olfactory receptors well.
Unleashed in countryside thicket in the wild
I excel as prized hunter of agile animal blood,
no less

The Bloodhound
I hate my job.
I am a work dog who can sniff out life and wrongdoing.
I nip at the tired heels in shackles.
I sniffed for the ensnarled and enslaved
on barren southern soil.
I sniff for vulnerable creatures.
My bark is a hoarse moan for blood, captivity and death.
It carries through the Spanish Moss, fields and swamps,
a signal

The Bloodhound
Dawn breaks over the horizon in a thin, frail line
my large snout presses downward upon the
ragged earth beneath, for I am on the hunt
absorbed in my task, scanning and searching
for that elusive scent that is in my wake.
Like a great detective, I will leave no stone unturned
I am proud of my prodigious nose, finely

The Bloodhound
I can't wait for the sun to set, but it's taking its sweet old time!
My master takes me hunting for raccoons after dark,
and I’m anxious to sniff out their trail.
A plethora of odors assault my sensitive nose
confusing my brain,
but once I smell my master's coonskin hat,
BAM! We're off to the game with my tail

Bloodhound
Morning has risen
the sky is showing off
a bit more enthusiasm than i
with my ears hanging
off the edge of the bed
my worried look shows
through the wrinkles
slumped on my face
i know the routine
a quick kiss on the head
leaving me with the same stain
of faded pink lips as the coffee cup rim
then you mutter i will

Bloodhound Nose
Death sniffs around
until it finds the heel
works its way up to the throat.
Leaves a wet spot-on happiness and hope.
Two big black snotty holes,
(one from which you came}.
The other where everyone eventually goes.
Death, like a bloodhound nose.

Bloodhound Scent
The blanket of darkness hides innocent eyes, powerful allies.
Powerful allies stand guard and set vigilance, musky sweat.
What goes unnoticed , with a strong will forms a pattern.
The groove is carved deeper into the path to follow a dear heart
and bring them back to safety.
Going unnoticed, untracked footsteps are sinking deeper into the
night.
Go hounds ,
