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?

Screeching Cornered Animal Synonymous With Banshee On the Loose

Upon exiting side door nearest
to our single bedroom
(few dozen strides to access way
out apartment - complex edifice),
I unexpectedly encountered
(on August 30th, 2021 ~10:15 pm -
née namely heard but did not see),
a small screeching creature
whose anatomical features it did splay

yours truly raced (fast as greased lightning) 
back to our unit (b44)
breathlessly describing
frightful scenario to spouse
her skeptical

Etching Screeching Noise On My Chalkboard-

Far far away there's green flash 
lit chalkboard Plymouth Rock 
so radical fingernail 
etching screeching noise
Far away fingers hands wipe away the blood
Cleansing the board flash in green
Fingernails so radical
Etching screeching noise

Cats Screeching Hate

Cats meow plaintively.

Shouting screeching misunderstood.

Love induces Hate.

Screeching Tires

Crushing of metal, 
The sound of breaking glass, 
Smell of hot engine oil 
And the heat from burning gas. 

All mental control was lost, 
Head throbbing from emotional pain, 
Vision clouded with remorseful tears 
As anger pulsed through swollen veins 

Shaking hands violently shifted gears 
As dangerous speeds were angrily reached, 
As hurting words echoed

Screeching Seagulls

The moon reflects in an oily city puddle.
Cigarette butts float on their back,
hold hands,
and look up at the stars.

I saw your eyes shining.
When a seagull screeched over the bay,
carrying a doomed crab,
like you carried away a piece of me.
A piece indistinguishable from innocence,
remarkably reminiscent of road trips and dark water skinny dipping.
Clothes lying on dry

Free Cee a Screeching Scream of Conscious Part One

Nor are they null…..As in null and void
Annoy     annoyed
Overdrawn    overjoyed
But who the hell would be overjoyed to be overdrawn?
Yawning……yawn
Yawn as in what I do when my girlfriend begins one of her seemingly endless ravings as she rants and recounts another ridiculously innocuous story perhaps about her suture or

Screeching Howl To the Fair Wind

At the traffic dodged broken barrier
My clown  eclipses pinholes gander
Reeked in the phallic sundust
Pouring out in putrid urgencies
Human beams of ghastly thought
Clinging to lucrative belly rings
Bastion of glowing hope tied to rope
Losing abundance in American swamps
As we creek our bells across the world
Drowning coca cola babies all the same
 Puns, cliques, and gospel truants

Screeching Tyres

Rubber slips on the road ahead,
It’s a dream I had while asleep in bed.
The sound of those screeching tyres.

Just 17 and ill prepared for such a car. 
Far to fast for my skills, left with a scar.
The sound of those screeching tyres.

Skidding side to side with no control,
then hitting the kerb, I started to roll.
The
