The howl remains
Look what we've done But why did you? Look, we've done it But should we have? Why this first? To be more heard. Just because we could? We'll describe. So what about evolution? What about it? Is it not the rule? Who’s to say? Was it necessary? We’ll justify it. But in the silence The howl remains....

HOWL IF YOU LOVE ME!
It started out with one good boy, A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy, His name was Gary, quite refined, A murder floof with teeth aligned (yikes)! They dressed him up in bowtie class, He promptly bit a Swissman's—ahem—pass ;) And now the Earth is not the same, We built a world… that he reclaimed. Howl if you love me! Snarl if you care! Growl like...

Ice is a strong force of nature. Cold and gleaming from within. Held by no law or direction. Just a fanciful brain, Seemingly a twin. Reminds me of history, not so long ago. Men in brown shirts on the go. ...

The not so silent, Frantics on the march. Hovering over, Waiting to pounce. Because we forgot what life is all about. Sending force full screams, Too move people out. Makes room for many more, Who pay...

Let's see how this goes. A means of logical thought. Taking inductive first, What has been observed to make life worse. People are not having fun, Appear to be quite glum. Groceries missing from the shelves, What is...

Ancient howling came back to Earth And before long more species followed Some contested against this unnatural birth But no one could deny it’s monetary worth Then after a little - our world was swallowed Even though we lacked a time machine We ended back up in...

Balance this please! I'm on my knees. Misplacing tens of thousands of people. Legal tax paying people with families, Across the seas. Balance this please! Businesses left to float, While others begin to bloat. Balance this...

Premium Member Isolate
The world turns, Another country went away. Not dissolved, Just to disappointed to stay. I am embarrassed, To admit where I travel from. Fellow travelers all say, " It's not you personally that turned away." I feel responsible...

Premium Member The Hunt
It was a strong opponent, it fought against us very well. Many of us were slaughtered before it finally went down. Again and again it tried to run, but we chased it down each time. We will never give up the hunt. We will always persevere. But this one had surprised us; it flashed its hardened steel. It cut down many of the pack and deflected...

The storm is rising. Dogs shiver with the thunder. Cats hide in lightning flashes. People lose their way. The tide is coming. Sweeping away hopes and dreams. Families struggle. No food or shelter to protect the vulnerable ones. ...

The Sea Remembers
The sea remembers all it cannot keep, Each wave a story, crashing into shore, Its secrets held in silence, buried deep. A sailor's prayer, a widow’s dreamless sleep, The driftwood echo of a lover’s lore— The sea remembers all it cannot keep. It sings of storms and treasures lost in sweep, Of shipwrecked years and voices heard no more, Its secrets held in...
