Villanelle of a Metal Queen
Villanelle of a Metal Queen (c) 2025 by Russ Dodson
I just don't know where else to start
to tell you of this love of mine
she is the beating of my heart
these feelings that I must decline
I just don't know where else to start
the memories both sweet and tart
hold feelings that I would enshrine
she is the beating

Pau - Old School Cool
Old School Cool (c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair
She's hot, yes, but she's also cool
she is a gem, she is a jewel
I think she's great (and I'm no fool)
she beats those drums like she's old school
she pounds those skins, sometimes it's funny
she hits them like they owe her money
and one thing more I'll tell you

Sail Away
By Tony Angelo
If you're drifting on a empty ocean,
with no wind to feed your sail,
The vast expanse of blue would surrounds you,
Into a solitary journey without a trail.
The waves would crash against your weathered hull,
with a rhythmic lullaby that soothes your soul,
but yet, the silence is

Life Experiences
life is full of experiences, something that you need to learn..
but there is no experience without practicals..
and no practicals without a man..
We hit the rock so hard sometimes..
We create beautiful episodes sometimes..
Each of these are different experiences..
Experiences that we must be ready to learn.
But when you fail to learn from them..
They will come again and

Die-Hard Rock and Rollers
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
with satirical mimicry,
a Twisted Sister bandstand
complete with flames and gimmickry.
As die-hard rock and rollers danced
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band,
the reaper keeping souls entranced
while maintaining the upper hand.
Beelzebub was Death's stagehand
languishing in the flames of hell,
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
until the fallen angels fell.
His guitar screamed heavy metal
the kind of tunes parents

A Trip To the Candy Store At Stake
Gretel and Hansel were given
A seven
But they did not know why
Since they did not lie
They decided to be Titans
At the time of this writing
Venturing into the forest
Just like the television commercial cat Morris
Wanting to compete with Chiefs who had the sweets
In the start blessed their heart
They had

She Is a Hard Rock
dark branch of wrath
piercing my third eye
dewed petals of love
opening hard rocks
i am sailing
magnetic inter actions
engulfing infernos
roots of innocent love
growing kissing the skies
i am helpless
reincarnation is not a sin
did i see her eyes before
words not expressed
i can hear
resuscitation of emotions
she is a hard rock

Hard Rock
The rock I stand on
is hard
I lean down and put my hand on
its hardness
Once there was
a nothingness
then the tiniest speck
of somethingness
burst into
the everythingness
until at last there was
thinkingness
so I can feel
this hardness
But this hardness is really an illusion
brought about by a grand collusion
the quite improbable action
of four forces of attraction
and one more of reaction
With steel hammer

Hard Rock
I'm surfing the wind
Straight for your heart
I'm a crashing wave
Aiming for your hurt
I'm two elements
Wind and water
Against your hard rock
I'm mere vapour
Chorus
The lemons in your eyes
Are demons of bitterness
Draw deep lines of tears
Let me peel off the loniness
To see past the lies
That stiffle your laughter
Until all fear dies
I'll rain down your praises
I'm riding the high

Hard Rock Candy Bandit
Hard Rock Candy bandit,
Desperado of the Country Club
Fever pitch daydreams wait in line
For heathen sacifice to your hunger.
Foolish mortals - all of them - to beg...
You are a star triumphant - singer of the latest,
Greatest song...
You are the heart blood of acceptance
On the trigger of your gun...
A natural phenomenon glittering in shards;
A veritable weapon
Pointing towards

Hard-Rock Miners: a Photo, 1850
Each man with his lunch box looks straight ahead
into the lens. It’s dawning, above ground.
Why think about a sweetheart still a-bed?
Each man with his lunch box looks straight ahead.
They’re going down. Lost daylight like the dead
who never rise. Their pay is pick and pound.
Each man with his lunch box looks straight ahead
into the lens.
