A cheating cheetah
A cheetah was caught on the prowl,
Enticing the females with growl.
He’d vanish by night,
To mate with delight~
A lifestyle that makes others howl.

Donkey's Diplomacy
I have heard enough of your growl;
I am well aware of your prowl.
When you wear angry frown,
You appear like a clown.
Why waste time expecting my howl?!

War Dogs Growl and Rage
The rockets rain down again
With explosions ripping then
And the war dogs growl and rage
With another war in Palestine’s page
Hamas strikes and kills
With civilian blood that spills
Do we see justice again
Or just more hearts hardened then
There are justifications made on each side
With fists pumping against what they cannot abide
And what is left for the

My Puppy
A puppy one day I brought home,
A jack russell you are,
You have beagle ancestors,
Having the beagle droopy ears
Your cute as can be,
You have some funny ways,
Dirty clothes you drag around,
Rolling on my sons bed,
Ripping the innards from shoes,
Growling at the dog in the mirror,
Growling at animals on the tv,
Some things you really hate,
Like that squirrel,

Rain
Sky, why are thou angry so much?
Growling at my soul this much
I feel it's comfort as such
I put my hand to feel the touch
Pita pata rain drops to the ground
Don't care it is squared or round
A pleasant environment is what you found
A track of light I saw touching the ground
Come my dear to enjoy this
With

more and more
protective
particular
and selective
with my time
truth is
i refuse
to have others decide
how to squander
what I have left
life is too short
to waste

Eagles Fly, Bears Growl
Failure is with us every day
telling us to go for it on fourth and one;
more and more that’s done;
we listen to failure smiling cynically
as he whispers temptations in our ears.
You’d recognize the guy,
You’ve seen him lingering near,
first cousin to Mayhem on TV,
there’s a strong family resemblance.
But forewarnings don’t enhance
self-protective good sense
for the lot of

Growl
The year was nineteen forty three
back then crime was more
then a mere slap on the knee
Life in the mines was very good
in fact so good that Bo got a gold tooth
planted in his beautiful mouth
When all the ladies saw him smile,
they lined up single file ! !

Wolverine Growl
The solemn night's silence was
broken,
As needles pierces with a shrieking
sound bespoken.
So the growl of the wolverine breakthrough
the moonless night,
Waking up in a jolt, drenched in sweat,
what a sweet plight,
Lo, it was only a frozen case of a
nightmare awoken.

I am getting hungry y’all.

Growl
The wolf wind rakes its teeth
across the stanchions of paper birches
seeming to peel strips of bark
rolling back the pristine white flesh
to the tanned heart.
