Long Howlers Poems

Some people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones

For all to count, subscribe to His power. 
Forget the current situations' bleakness, 
For favour shall outpour breakthrough's miraculous shower.

No cares or worries to drive me mad or sad
I’ll  play it cool, wait for insects...

Shall I relay a sidesplitting hoot from my “care-free” on campus fun phase?
It entails a laboratory session involving three mystic world colossal oafs.
 One had an unerring penchant for Laurel and Hardy mishaps, the other...

I lament the misery of my femaleness and howl at the moon
My garden alive with bursting thoughts of mightiness and plenty
I am my mother’s savage daughter a Wiccan who will not swoon
I run with wild...

A green river snakes its way across a jungle 
Alive with sounds from the Earth's orchestra 
Of watchful jaguars and dainty Yucatan squirrels
Enjoying a tête-à-tête between leafy branches

Deep within my blackened soul
This dark nightmare grows
From putrid bile so foul

Where bloodied carnage grows
Festering in a venomous pit
Where only my demon goes

The bloodsuckers of the night
Scorn my very existence
Cowering as from holy light

The lupine...

How many cabinets or counters

Have some sort of white powder

Many meals cooked with flour

Familiar with the Two Towers 

As well as Wario and Bowser

many passed by this crag today
to see where the dying soldiers lay
moaning, bleeding, crying for their mothers
perpetrators, victims and all the others

over glazed eyes malevolent with murder
stealing strangers lives like burglars
the honor, the horror, the...

from three miles away
the unmistakable sounds~
of howlers chorus  

a slithering snake. 
crushing prey without mercy~
green anaconda  

small eyed black caiman
twenty foot alligator  ~
watching and waiting 

waiting in the trees  
unsuspecting deer...

When your main plan on its knees flounders
Your hopes and aspirations led astray far from their hope ray
In the midst of howlers and blunders

Dragons with their brimstone throats
burned millions
before bursting into combustible myths.
Did we once make fire
or did the fire make us?    Burning,
burning, burning
until ‘forever’ became extinct, became
smoke behind the ramparts of heaven.
More burning, torching...

The rain forest mists
Drift in their time
Leaving moisture so pure
On nature sublime

In collective gather
On the canopies of green
As i walk through these mists
All around me scene

I stand there and listen
To natures sounds
Howlers and Toucans
In communication...

big eyed owl
all puffed up
tormented by wind
whistling tree branches
tick tock of clock tower
dog wolfs himself up

identical black cat howlers
tug of war

sneaky skeleton ticks and tocks

clicky clacky clicky clacky
whoo whoo whee whee
bouncing skeleton head
diabolical music
villain dance

And you are a failure
And all is lost

Hoping you will look up
Trying to change you from your sad self 
to your most fabulous philosophy

Here's some homework howlers,
By hilarious pupil terrors,
"An octopus has eight testicles."
Did I read that with my spectacles?
"Mozart sailed to Vietnam." For how long?
Why is there a clavichord in the Mekong?
"Rome is now in Africa." Do...
