Premium Member Do you truly believe that I have torn through the centuries with invisible claws
Do you truly believe that I have torn through the centuries with invisible claws, unveiling the arteries of time like strands of silk, only to evaporate into the mist of forgetfulness? That I have ravaged the peaks of celestial laws, tearing the throat of destiny, until its blood wove itself into the fabric of your name, only to unravel like...

Premium Member There is a monster inside me, with sharp teeth and claws
There is a monster inside me, with sharp teeth and claws, Gnawing at the walls of my skull, scratching deeply down my mute throat, It thrusts its hands deep between my ribs, searching for nonexistent words, I sit before the blank page, a cold slab that mocks me, A morgue drawer for all the things I cannot say. I bleed...

Stripes of Night
With claws like daggers, sharp and keen, the tiger moves a silent machine. Its strength unmatched, a force of might, a hunter born in the fading light. With senses keen, it hears the faintest sound, a whisper of wind on the parched ground. A burst of speed, a blur of orange fire, the tiger strikes, fulfilling its desire. ...

Stars—fractured shards of a forgotten mirror— pierce the dark fabric, their cold fire spilling across the sky like the dreams of ancient gods. A feral wind prowls through the streets, teeth bared, dragging its claws along rooftops, tearing through the loose skin of...

Our dog, named Lucy, though she’s sweet, How sharp can be that doggy’s claws. A bite from her would be no treat. I hope to never feel her jaws. How sharp can be that doggy’s claws.

Premium Member cat sharpens her claws on trees
what are those? I ask, my voice cracking a bit. They are long deep claw marks in my hemlock tree. Made by a cougar? A mountain lion? a puma? My cat cannot stop giggling....

Red Tooth and Claws
Hunger has its claws: Kitchens gape not doors. One can't for long sit, Whom ulcer has hit! Just Red Tooth and claws, A waging of wars: Everyone a cat; You'll hear Rat-Tat-Tat! It's red tooth and claws! Don't come here with laws. Profit does us fit: One from tricks and wit. For red tooth and claws I'll hide all the flaws....

plasma barrier force field pressed against yielding bubble slipping through where have I been precious energy spent with no return foolishly so many verses wasted treasure hunting down helpless vapid creatures left inviolate monster medicine not cold heart beating icy breath swelling preening scales ticking claws filing sharp words swishing long slithery tail pheromones of worthy prey lurking invisibly close deep rattling sigh reptilian razor head slashes fro coordinates locked Kodachrome melting vision dissolving not his homeless heart matriculating from detachment to isolation deep dark hole retreat and sleep forget the day expand horizons smash boundaries find fuel...
