A novice pet store clerk named Keatcue
Was told by a client to have a Shih-Tzu.
The clerk thought that a personal smear,
And barked insults into the client’s ear
Thus putting himself into deep Shih-Tzu doo....

Try to find me,
for I am hiding.
You can not see me,
hear me, or feel me.
For I don't want to 
be found.

I would rather
have my solitude,
feel safe and sound
instead of known
and hounded.

Ineffectual and impotent
Your proclamations fall to the ground
No longer are you believed
And pity is the only thing felt

Move along, pathetic creature
Torture those around you instead
For your contemptuous nature
Holds no sway with those you've hounded...

I am not brilliant
Or heroic
Or frightfully quick 
Or connected.
Just beggarly
And bled for
And brothered
By Betlehem's King.
He came to us
And blessed by the Lake
Hounded and hung
And risen
For my puny sake.
Its a good thing
I now walk in
With Him....

There was once a young hound 'hounded' by fleas,

   As countless as the stars in Pleiades!

      He was one dismal young whelp,

         And he barked with a loud yelp:

            "Won't someone scratch this mutt's hide if you please!"

Tampered photo, 
Tampered life, 
Born elite,
Married Strife.
Never one mans wife.
Wed to the nation,
System creation.
Freedom lost.
Chosen, at what cost?
Wishful eloper,
Like the in law shirker.
Mother,
Worker,
Food bank opener.
Country ambassador,
The monarchies future.
Press hounded
Hunted creature
Populism fall girl
No one to catch her....

Right on top, you were inching slowly.
United in hate
they were tracking you.

Trespassing the epochs
you want to go back in stone age
to retrace the steps
of a homeless sapience.

In the brown desert of high hunches
you were treading haltingly
hounded by rivals,
utterly unethical.

You drew a circle
without a center,
readying for a guillotine.

In flight I've lost my way
Fueled, hounded by desire for another.
She eludes me effortlessly;
Laughs at my plight.
Many times have I felt her touch;
Ever-teasing, I find myself swiftly bereft.

She wears many disguises;
Such that I've never gazed upon the visage
Of she whom I seek.
I court a fey temptress,
Content to dance forever beyond my reach.
Shall I ever find a way to her heart?...

Fierce, fiery, forgotten, forever
Enthralling, endless, elegant, enraged
Agitated, angry, anxious, autonomy 
Resentful, release, rhythm-less, repent 

Over, old-fashioned
Flash, finished

Destiny, dust, delicate, destruction, distraught
Effortless, eternal, expiration, empty, exhale
Alone, asleep, apprehension, alarm, anguish
Terminal, thralldom, taken, tender, tortured
Heavy, honoured, hounded, hurt, hushed...

Blaring lights of glaring savauge,
Gaudy surmise ceased to suprise

Light of darkness, sun to the sky,
In sight to sanitise the tear of thy eye

Unswept and wept 'pon broken bodice,
Wept and kept and hounded the goddess 

Fanned the fawn of cauterised fallace,
Hell of cold, unearthly palace

Chaste and torn chest of satis,
Man to maid and hound of malice 

Seam to see unravel of ravage,
Goddess to test the fondest of savage....

Jesse James the Perfect Outlaw 

Jess James,
Rode the wild west in flames,
Some call him a hero outlaw,
His blazing revolver made him a bad criminal

Jesse and his brother Frank James
Poesy hounded down these names
Bloodthirsty military barbarians 
Sometimes I wonder if they were vegetarians


Jess James needed no standoff
Threatening him made him, COUGH! COUGH! 
Shot in the back of the head, 
I'm so glad Robert is also dead.

new dog on the porch
our pet cat at the window
shrieks like a banshee

Indignation hair-raisingly sounded
when our “queen” cat was more than astounded
by the new pet Dad brought
to the house. Cat wailed “NOT
on MY watch.” Then that poor dog she hounded.

our cat’s hissy fit goes down as the worst in her catdom’s hiss-tory.

Show me mercy, for I am weak 
a wounded bird, pity I seek
unable to take flight, grounded
please stop me from being hounded
Listen to my pleading,  I'm meek,

I lay here, life surely looks bleak
looking into my deaths mystique 
evil everywhere, surrounded 
show me mercy,

observe inner soul not physique 
a living creature, I'm no freak
unwillingness is unfounded 
non actions would be ungrounded
be loving, helpful, no critique 
show me mercy.

Work habits, work to make you go
harder. Then they twist you out 
to go make more. Not money
but exhausted confused energy. 
Sadly so, this is our honey sweet
new age, true wage world. 

Can you turn this skull-less
ship around?
Bound, found, hounded
Career appointed overseer,
slaves to the office sun. 
The world plays too cool. 

The rule of 3 makes sweet 
lessons on leaders. But you
can not ascertain a lead
to which you can rise
because you are side-stepped. 
Lost in a ladder that divides...
