Premium Member Ugly Cement Gray Howling City Wolves
Ugly cement gray howling city wolves More dangerous than their county cousins Tearing families apart with contracts Filling office workers up with impossible tasks Tearing heads off colleagues during appointments Ugly cement gray howling city wolves Running city blocks to work in tennis shoes Keeping shiny Florsheim in their desk drawers a loaded derringer bouncing in their pocket Incase an indigent asks them for...

Premium Member Howling truth ambushing the flock
Wolves are smart creatures they do not devour old sheep when there is plenty of young to prey on so their focus is set upon the mother because she will do everything in her power to defend her baby Singling out one of the weakest in the herd they begin to prowl on their mission once...

Howling At Night
We told you to go to bed. You decided to howl instead. In those days, we covered our ears. But now we hide our tears. Yes, you would howl. Yes, you would growl. But then you would purr. As we pet your fur. The howling would end. We would pretend. That this would be forever. But now we have tremors. We hear the refrigerator. We hear the...

Howling
My writing gets wavy and I bet it would annoy some perfectionists out there. I’m annoying but I don’t care right now. They hate me, so I write about that too. The tree outside is weird and funny and bouncy. So I scribble a tree and the tree has a face. So I look outside again, and the tree is...

Howling Winter Wolves
The day is a gray one and bitter cold Wind slapping my face piercingly bold The snow is icy white, the top layer is hard My forced footsteps leave the service scarred Not a sound is heard, noises freeze in mid air Later the moon exposes that activity was their Some rabbits, deer and even some wolf tracks Leaving me to wonder,...

The Howling Winds of March
The howling winds of March Furious gusts of air mightily blow bestirring anchored poet sitting comfortably numb securely strapped in his hard to maneuver easy bath chair while all around him debris strewn helter skelter everywhere heavy objects unmoored pirouetting topsy turvy defying laws of physics cue Adam Smith courtesy his invisible hand eulogizing, kickstarting, and regulating unseen cogs and gear in order to avoid being plucked up analogous to whirling...

Premium Member Screeching Howling
There is a sense of dread in these woods your mind sits with a quiet tick; Surrounded by a dark void uncertain sounds screeching; Attractive soft glow, but what’s howling that could kill in the night?...

Premium Member Lets Give the Humans Some Howling
There was an eerie feeling that represented a full moon. Is it time? The skeleton asked his bunkmates, or is it too soon? Sure, one replied. Let’s show them that dead is not dead. They climbed out of their sleeping quarters, their earthy black bed. October for sure, but is it Halloween? One of the skeletons asked. The old wise...

Premium Member Family Portrait: For Carl
This is you; this is me, at the end of the row, white-faced. I have you clamped in an iron grip to keep you from getting off my lap. The camera was quick; next minute you were howling your head off! At the other end, Ray is not looking pleasant; ...

Premium Member Howling of the Coyotes
When shadows fall across embattled land Dusk creeps slowly westward over the plains Comes a-wailing, howling of the coyotes Searching for prey among the dry creek runs Thirsty animals, like humans, take risks Seek out the sweet nectar of the rainclouds Potable water, life’s necessity. This cracked earth, barren of tillable soil Given for our homeland--great Sioux nation And Lakota--once land...
