Howl Poems

Home of free and brave
Submissively digs own grave

Who’s that cow standing in the way

Moo-ove, Moo-ove

No, that’s a donkey,listen how he brays

Hee-haw, Hee-haw

I’m not the kinda person to be hurdling insults

"But that's a crazy monkey with a blabbering mouth"


Who’s that dog with the toothpaste teeth

Bow-Wow, Bow-Wow

He gobbled up...Read More

I love you to the moon and back

Stuck in lover's purgatory

A picture of a thousand kisses

Kept inside thy wallet

Or on a mantle piece

In broken frame

Underneath a waxing moon

Where werewolves howl

And the tides come in and out

That star crossed lover's never...Read More

I

From thirsting shoots, the timelines grew
to stubborn stems that clasped the strings
of magnetism, space, decay
and gravity. The paths they knew
were constant, straight; they stretched away,
unbreakable yet formless things 
defying turmoil’s beckonings,
each one with its own tale to tell -
alternative, yet...Read More

‘All you need is time?’
What a despicable lie! 
‘Just let it all go.’
Ok, then snuff my heartbeat 
You are the air that I breathe.

Believe in magic;
Elevated energy; 
Sparks and shooting stars; 
The power of forever? 
All I need to see...Read More

There is a desperate bent in Men who lose,
A silent howl that seeks the lie to prove,
That She Loved Him, who otherwise did choose,
And shunned him! Seek with teaspoon seas to move,
And you, my friend, my silent fool, my boy
Will...Read More

Not long ago
He stood at the window,
Briefly leaned against the wall
Listened to the howl of the wind  
That disturbed the night
Without respite.
Why does the wind shriek?
He had asked.
He did not know 
About the pain, it suffered 
While moving through
The...Read More

The High Night of the Dark Wind

Dancing fairies on the lake of ice, 
leaving no marks as they pass. 
The tiny birds, chase them...
not to eat, but to join them, 
laughing and chirping together.

The trees are heavy with snow. 
Thick...Read More

I watched the day
 it came in just after morning light on the bay
 eerily dark and spectacular gray;
how wild and restless blew the northeast winds
 each a howl upon the trees up down unhinged,
 racing hurriedly out to the...Read More

        I heard the faint howl of the cold wind;

        saw the crescent moon's beatific smile

    In the meadow; wonderous sights I did...Read More

Nearly ten o'clock, Capitol Hill, inside the SCIF (specially designed for classified purpose): House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff was hosting an esoteric hearing featuring a deposition with Defense Department official Laura Cooper as part of Impeachment Inquiry into Dotard...Read More

Stair to Heaven

A spiral stair comes in pieces. 
About one thousand to be sure. 
It is a very large box indeed, 
and weighs about 400 pounds. 

Do not tell the man accidentally;
to put it in the wrong place. 
You will...Read More

Manger Shadow

A shadow lurks behind the manger bed
 Swaddled by indifference,
  Creeping behind
 Lowing cows 
And 
Bleating sheep,
Power without power raising up a hoary head
 While in vanity dim shades attempt to weave
  A gloomy thread into the...Read More

The breeze blows icy arrows, piercing flesh
The pale sun's rays enfeeble yearning hearts
Commuters scurry, hats in scarves enmeshed
Monday morning, December's forlorn start...

Returning home, the winds do scream and howl
At downtown throngs that empty out at five
But first a drink to...Read More

For a string of warm, sunny days
   December extracts her pay
A clipper sails in from the West
   Reprieve's end, Nature's stern test

Thermometers plummet
   Mild rains, now ice and snow
You and I draw near the...Read More

What is it you have to answer
 But before you ask someone
 You have to know the answer

People call me  ed, Edward, nygma or prince of puzzle
Conclusively it doesn’t matter 
Cause I can make your mind a dimwit crippler...Read More

Suffering psychopaths,
Hannibal's hectoring -
Pervasive persuasion -
Gullible guardians
Lulled into leaving him
Free from the mouth muzzle....Read More

Moonlight glistens off the fallen snow
Like little stars in the valley below
Owl calls across this desolate site
No answer returns on this lonesome night

The wolf's howl echoes over this valley view
Hoping for a clandestine rendezvous
The wind sings in the pines above
Calling...Read More

Grand Howl for the Sea

Oh I howl!
Longing to be free…
But I remain, landlocked to a people
Growling and hissing you must face your responsibilities!

Indebted to a society into which my debts never seem to end.
I long to be a Man-child, Hidden...Read More

The desert sands blow soft and warm
As wispy clouds begin to swarm.
I watch the skies for signs of rain
To ready for a springtime storm.

My mind is numb, my soul in pain;
My love is on an eastbound train.
The joy of cool...Read More

Even if yours truly could repeat every grade...

Without fail, I would flunk preschool
farcical scenario aside
truthfully, metaphorically, emphatically
resigned to life as replayed
male live violent scullery maid
forced to spend existence locked
within veritable grotesque
dragon filled dungeon paid

existential dues many times over
horrible nightmarish masquerade
eternal...Read More

Modern day scoffers say,
only the strong will survive
That the weak will be eaten alive
Only T-Rex,
cold-blooded logic will thrive

The talking serpents e-vol hiss, 
instincts of compassion and kindness won’t abide
Forgiveness is viewed as fleece clothing
to bear skins 
sin cloaked in naked...Read More

“I banged my... ahem
I banged my... achoo
And nobbled my coccyx.”
“Ouch! What did you do?”

“A bottle lay sideways
Right there! On the stair!
It worked like a roller
I flew through the air

And whack! On the corner
of stair number two
I banged my... ahem
I banged...Read More

Plague of lies,
froggy croaks untrue
Swarm of flies
surround Capitol dungHills
Infectious hope buzz kill:
Leftover piles of shill legislative bills
that don’t do  do right

There should be no nose mystery,
stink of deceit fills the land

Brown lip locust wings
avarice ride 
on a grifter breeze
Devouring...Read More
