Hysteria

in hysterical humor
she cackles
grand scales of laughter 
lost in the higher notes
we stand
ears covered in horror
as she throws back her head
revealing
fangs

Premium Member Witch

Wicked aged woman,
wreaking harm with cauldron,
warty nose, crafty eyes;
Wisdom sees through dark guise!
When riding purple broom,
wild crone cackles at moon.
Warblers on crimson skies.

dread grips world the failure snide zest lambs are calm, top to toe, thinly veiled sorrow on times Cackles are flimsy.

The moon
  so hazy
in early winter sky
  fights to break through
  
denied, she
  casts her spell
undercover
  
as a door creaks
  near me 
while streaking
  across the sky

a ghostly hag
  on her broomstick
    ~ cackles

Premium Member The New and Improved Normal

The locusts yet screech after dawn
  While the buzzard cackles from his perch
The red sun's inflamed in the morn
   Snarled traffic pauses to lurch...

Staring into the abyss of an angry rush hour
  ~ Workers from home take a shower

Drunk Sun

Moon hatches 
star eggs; 
she cackles
to get him 
home.

Drunk Sun 
roams around.

Orange tan conceals
the whiteness of the ghost
subtle cackles sound

You’ve got to be a spirit
cries mystical rastaman

He stumbles along
still offering redemption
to those fading ghosts

The song silhouettes the sky
Spirit can defeat the ghost

Laugh Medicine

Land of laughs and cackles
An amusement park built to lighten any mood
Freed shackles

Falling down slopes
Chewing on bites of funny food
Lift hopes

You see
Life is not rude
Whee!

Land of laughs and cackles
Chewing on bites of funny food
Whee!

Time In a Tabernacle

Time In A Tabernacle 

There was the time we were in a tabernacle,
And then instead of singing always cackles;
In tune were not,
So had to fill slot;
Sang so loud put me in chains and shackles.

Premium Member Looked In a Mud Puddle

Looked in a mud puddle and saw a witch.
She laughed at me. The mean ‘ole crone.
I was not happy certainly not amused.
Her eyes were as dark as a cave without light.
She crooked her finger and tried to speak.
I ran as if bowels of hell were waiting.
Hair stood straight up as I heard her witch cackles.

Premium Member Wild Woman Campfire With Amber Eyes

Wild woman campfire with amber eyes
Dynamite gathering for happy seasoned crones
Ethereal magic in a boxed setting with a joyful squeak.
Dry crackling barn grass thrown on fire by winking slaves
Whose witch cackles rise gloriously 
And Eyes are dancing and prancing 
In the lantern-like light of the campfire.

The Yellow Frogs

The little yellow frogs
are pumping their thighs

creating synchronous ripples
over the lily pond,
it's a musical moment
but a silent one.

A Blue Jay cackles-out,
its scolding rattle
slaps my ears.

The frogs for a short while
croak back,

then return
to their silent work-out,

water music resumes.

Spirited Procession

fog's fingertips creep
moon silently cackles, grins...
soft glow on blackness

twisted trees moan, creak
pumpkins' wrinkles choke, dig deep...
lit up distortions

shuffling, shifting steps
spirited procession, screams...
smiles flash, trick or treat!

Premium Member An Eerie Warning

Birds seen flying together in large flocks tonight
Words of warning sounds emit as coos and cackles
Herds of cows start running toward the barn door light
Blurred together as a murder of black crows and grackles

Premium Member SQUIRREL'S SOIREE

SQUIRREL’S SOIREE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sam the squirrel, sprightly and spry, sought a soirée under the sapphire sky. With acorn appetizers and nutty delights, he danced with delight through the dappled night. Chirping chums and critters abound, cackles and chuckles, a charming sound. In a twirl of tails and a flurry of feet, Sam spun in circles, a soiree sweet.

Arkham Asylum

Let the joker rest.

Let the cackles
    of his wicked laugh
     echo
     off stone walls.

Let the Joker’s
riddles go unsolved.
He only thinks
he knows the answers.

Let the inhabitants
ponder their deeds.

Let the residents
see their lives
are one act plays

But streets of Gotham
are safe for now.

Although ill minds
make them do
what they do

listen to their pleas
and walk away.

Fettered Freedom

I'd had enough,
Of pain and scenes.
I planned an escape
Unheard, unseen.

I wished to flee,
So I flapped my wings
But in place, there were 
Hard and strong strings.

A call I heard,
Which warmed my heart
Unbidden it came
On my fledglings' part.

Were I to fly?
What then of them?
Young and innocent
Invaluable gems. 

So I settled
For a life in shackles.
I'd face all,
For their endless cackles.

Katrina

Out of the gulf came a voodoo child
spawned from the depths of hell,
And cast upon this melting pot
her black magic spell.
And the voodoo child she watches
her dark potion swell
To envelop and engulf the 
poor serf and peasant.
Now the dead of the past 
greet those of the present,
And form their bonds 'neath
the citie's pale crescent.
And the voodoo child she cackles and
twirls her feathers of fowl and pheasant.

The Cold Light of Day

Even as the cold light of dawn breaks over the horizon,
I shudder at the thought of the darkness inside...the poison.

Even as the day gets progressively warm,
I shiver at the chill, at the thought of the storm,
the storm that's raging inside.

Even as we speak, I can hear it...
the cackles of a witch, even I have to admit.

I'm sorry...I wish I could say,
as  in the cold light of day,
it dawns on me that I was wrong.

Friends Live Forever

She shuts her eyes.
They called it sleep.
They shut the door.
They extinguished the lights.

At 3am.
she awakens.
Her body deceased,
she could not move.
She notices herself,
dancing with the devil.
He claps his hands.
He grins at her.


Suddenly he cackles.
She stops to glance.
She sees his face.
His eyes like death,
looks like her friend.

he shoves her down.
She cracks her neck.
He smirks at her,
then strolls away.

Hell

Voices scream in terror,
They cry, pained whimpers left echoing in your ears,
And you can't escape.

Running frantically,
Fire in waves of relentless fury surrounding your path,
You can't escape.

This Hell, mustered from fear itself-
Your enemy- cackles,
The shadows reflected from the fire swarming you, invading internally.

Internally indeed,
With no chance to escape the devilish imagination of the mind,
You live your life in Hell.

A Fool's Account

Fraud and deception of the affluent eyes
Toss my purpose aside and let me hemorrhage humiliation
Drops of unappreciative pain plaster and soil black  
Cackles to hide my mammoth of hurt
Echo through a maze of sovereigns and numeric cipher

I’m a non-significant member of manuscript
An unknown, a recluse, a bother
Gauche trials of loss and fray
Matter to none who play the game
Yet in our tightly packed world

The Joker is always included.

Premium Member Eclipse of the Politician

Don't take it as song; what the media cackles.
They're just bullhorn harlots for politicians. 
Who'd sell your marrow to the lowest bidder-
They lust for our division to maintain power.
For a people united is poison to them
(a cross in the face of a vampire).
Citizens united would mean term limits.
No more heavenly wage increases...
Their necks would be short leashed. 
Insider trading would all but cease....
But only in a good citizen's dream.

Premium Member Crystal Ball

Skeleton’s hand holds a ball A crystal ball for reading - Those minds of the unwary To spy on victims Skeleton just holds the ball So the witch can look through it To peer right at the evil - She’s recently done She cackles a wicked laugh With a flourish she takes off Riding her small broom of death With her crystal ball Waiting below her is fear For her power is immense She curses those that oppose Causing great torment
