Premium Member Love Can Be Grand - POTD
In spring we come out to see life, out from our long cold winter's nap. Bears are so loving not wildlife. Love can be grand. I am your big fun bear asap, you are my fury playful wife, I love to see you in gift-wrap. Tonight we need some fun nightlife, eating fish not from a flytrap, using my big claws not a knife, Love...

Claws in the Wind
Claws in the wind disturb the stream, Two bears collide in shallow spray, Their roars dissolve the morning dream. Claws in the wind. The water coils in streaks of gray, Sharp fangs reflect the sun’s last gleam, No trout remain, they dart away. Each lunge breaks loose a river seam, The rocks bear witness to the fray, Then all is still as dusk draws...

caress of an old friend
Depression Its darkness. A cold embrace, An old friend. It welcomes me, like a lighthouse after a tragic storm. I feel her claws like a deceiving caress Her words drown me in blanket of numbness Bitterness maws at me like a rabid wolf I sleep I eat I sleep again. Praying she doesn’t invade my dreams. Too late. Grades drop faster than silence after I tell someone...

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. ...

Wild Is The Night
The night unravels like a tattered black sail, its edges fraying with whispers of secrets too heavy to hold. 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. The other day by accident she scratched my face (no harm was meant). A bite from her would be no treat. The scratch she left me on...

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....
