Premium Member Horned Me Devil
Somewhere in the bowels of purgatory lives a horned me-devil drinking tea Most know he is too evil to comprehend, others run into him, including me. We knew not to look into his dastardly devilish dank deadened eyes. If we face him as an equal, our souls would never have opportunity to rise. He swishes around edges of purgatory,...

Horned Owl
I glide through the night on silent wings Watching, waiting, for moving things To swoop and grab and eat my fill Before the sun rises over the hill Nesting in branches high in the air I watch as you approach and stare “who?” says you, “who” says me As I take off almost silently To find a bit more private trap Where I can...

Premium Member The Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl sits on his branch Surveys the land around Searching for some prey to eat He knows they do abound His head turns near full circle His stomach needs to fill Has to see a movement Misses any that stay still A Hare looks out but does not see The threat up in the tree Leaves the shelter of the bush Was a...

I strutted a bit on my branch as I surveyed the others They were commoners mostly songbirds, and two of my brothers. Is that a great horn? A beautiful red cardinal asked in a trill. I knew my stance was giving her and her friends quite a thrill. My brothers began showing off, doing tricks, flying around. They almost...

Premium Member The Pepperman and the Ivory Horned Dragons
I OPENED A DOOR SAW A DRAGON FLY BY. SO BIG AND SO CLOSE IT BLOCKED OUT THE SKY. EACH FLAP OF IT'S WINGS CREATED A BREEZE. A MAGNIFICENT CREATURE THAT SOARED WITH SUCH EASE. FROM OUT OF NOWHERE A SECOND APPEARED. BLOCKED OUT THE SUN AS IT STARTED TO NEAR. THEY CIRCLED THE CANYON, WITH A TARGET IN SIGHT, YET CONTINUED TO CIRCLE FROM DAY INTO NIGHT. I WASN'T SURE...

Premium Member The Great Horned Owl
I saw a beautiful great horned owl today while out on my nature walk He was sitting proudly while snapping his bill and deeply hooting at me And watching me so intensely from his predatory eyes with piercing gawks I was delighted until I saw bloody skeletal remains under his tree 3/24/19...

Evil Horned Demons
There's so much I want to speak My angers coming to a peak Knowing how damaged we've become I hope there's a way back from All of the deterioration Hatreds causing on this nation Smiles are turning to frowns Because insensitive clowns Are wreaking havoc on our souls Becoming way out of control As these devilish mean creatures Start to show their deadly features Horns are growing...

Great Horned Owls
Many many moons ago leaving the porch of a south-facing canyon, I hiked to a place where the foothills narrowed, Where the asphalt road ran astride the reservoir lake into which kingfishers dived at will, and Great Horned owls hooted at passerby, And crickets chirped in the castor bean in the broom grass, in the sumac and sorrel and the scrub oak and the sage, I walked with...
