thick fog engulfs night
wading across fetid swamp
moon casts dim beacon
eyes of beasts monitor steps
owner's pursuing dogs howl

she keeps her shame

and ravished body concealed...

beasts tell lies

Weak But Wise

Weak but wise
Sleep in the tombs
Skeletons of ancient
Serene men of virtue
Brutally taken away
By strong but foolish
Beasts of closed minds

Will of Men

if not for men
and their will 
to open
their fists 
and their hearts
tragic feminine
beasts of burden
the will of men
still in their carts

Eventually they turned on him.

suddenly alert
this splendidly antlered stag
looked star-skyward

and the many beasts
all watching the sky-bright night
were warmed and at peace

Men Cruelty Beasts Pity

The man invested in  total falsehood
killing without mercy, cruel insanity
the informal beasts have further pity
they only kill to eat as a simple mood

Beasts
great stink rising up in warm waves
feral
bellow
running dark
not quite blind
herd formation
other quiet beasts wait under cover
for the weak

Garden of Eden
Trees with fruits are laden
Birds sing gaily, beasts roam wild.

Sunflower fairy 
Chatted merry 
Spellbound the dragonfly, like a child.

Premium Member she’ll be right mate

beasts instinctively lie in wait ~ a misogynist will dope its date

Veto the Mosquito Wbm

When God made the beasts, in days of old
It seems He lacked quality control
That surely would veto 
The cursed mosquito
And preclude all that itching untold

Glory

Glory two, the beasts!
Willing to fight,
With tooth and claw,
Splendid beast.
Glories his, today!
Tooth and claw,
Trophies he covets,
Glory won, the beast!

Burnt

breast suckled not barren deserted
breath not shared lungs bloated
beasts severed a lot skin pierced
bread not served shaken bruised
burnt hunger of love cried

Noah loaded great beasts on an ark
and cleaned messes from morning til dark

But a man's gotta eat,
so he feasted on meat

and at least he had less to dis-bark!

Its a Beautiful Day

The sun is cheerful, birds are whistling 
Grass is green for the beasts to feed on
Torrents flow down the streams   
Broods frolicking on the path 
It’s a beautiful day

Premium Member Judge's Disclaimer

My friend, the judge, made this disclaimer
Since she worked with beasts, who could blame her
“In there it’s too rough
So I’ve had enough.
I’m done being a ly’in tamer!”

Nature in it's most peaceful form Wolves at rest so quick to transform When hunger takes over No longer quiet loafers Becoming ravenous beasts on the hunt

Premium Member Election Year

When beasts that can do nothing but roar
Meet creatures that can only ignore,
They always reach an impasse,
A pain for tiger and ass -
I'm glad it's only one year in four.

The Wilderness of Arkansas

Happy birthday, Sister Elsa, 
It's known for its abundant park; 
The wilderness of Arkansas 
Hosts the night beasts in the dark.

Beasts of the Night

Fear not those thing's and beasts of the night.
fear not closed eyes and twisting shadows.
Be still one's mind of all chilling grief.
Be still great torment ripping underneath.
