Hades In Flames

The Angels
have gone
Only devils
are left
Clouds
die infested  
With fire
beset
Pitchforks
are glowing
Coal burning 
the harps
Grace lost
in the smoke
Tomorrow
— is dark

Premium Member When They Come In a Pack

When they come in a pack do you run? 
Do you hide?
When they have pitchforks, do you cry? 
Or do you have scared laughter?
When they bring the tar, 
do you provide the feathers?
Taunting them before you fly out of their reach?

If the Rubik's Cube Was Round

If the Rubik's Cube was Round
Would the Earth not?
Would the men with knives and pitchforks 
After Eratosthenes be proud?
Would voyagers search far and wide
Once more for the famous edge
Only for the fall
If only the Rubik's Cube was Round

Daddy Revisited

No more swastikas -
you're with Daddy now.
When father sneezes,
Dachau odes are sprayed
onto sandpaper.

Linen tissues
glaze his black horns.
Dish rags polish
obtuse pitchforks.

Papa squirms
in a bag
full of God.

Achoo!
Ach, du

Die!

Premium Member what took you so long

Gary the gargoyle crept out of his crypt and up the side of a wall
From there he could see that the villagers were no kind of tall
He knew even with pitchforks and hoes they would not scare him
What too you so long? Asked him sidekick, a ghoul name of Jim.

Premium Member F4 in 1952

she stealthily sneaked up on farming community
surprising everyone, for they were deep in sleep
threw barns, sheds, tractors and pitchforks into the air
they were whisked away inside her whirling turmoil tunnel
1952 tornado in Nebraska, devastation from an F-4

Smile

When you sound your battle cries
I will smile
When you match to my door with your pitchforks
Chanting, cursing, on your crusade of righteousness 
I will throw my door wide open still with a smile
It will be my armour and only defence
In the midst of all that you do
I will just smile

Premium Member Cashless

Clean down to the bottom bill Smashing gobsmacked cashless Simply crass wealthy wanting more The silent till awaits the masses Pouncing plastic rapist rapture Stripped!! The global bankers dream! Control the dough by feckless reign A reckless chain to pitchforks once again

Flying Monkeys

How banal is heartbreak
yet the masses belly up to the bar
to imbibe the bitter brew by the gallon
fermented from the pounds of flesh
she's cut away with her pen 
that she keeps preserved 
in jars of formaldehyde

Drunk with disdain
her potion resurrecting their pain
her patrons grab the pitchforks
she keeps sharpened by the door
Silent she watches them stumble out
smiling as she counts the bills in the till

Premium Member First Speak

The devil whispers his hellos
and I enter into his hellish realm

I'm greeted by pitchforks pinching my sides
and the screems of those who have sinned

My eyes burn from the crimson fire 
and my hair goes totally ablaze

Next comes the pain of heat pouring through my veins
with my tears evaporating as soon as they form

"I don't want to be here!", I shout
followed by the devil's laugh

But for me, this will be home
for all eternity

Premium Member Cali Practices Necromancy

Cali is a descendent of Babylonians
She practices necromancy
conjuring spirits of her ancestors
her rituals and spells are world-renown

bullies who misunderstand despise her
they fear her visions and insights
she often foretells what comes to be
This terrifies those who cannot

Ignorance often courts violence.
Cali’s spiritual guides warn her of the bullies
She escapes their ignorant pitchforks
Praying for their spiritual enlightenment

Premium Member WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT

music to kids ears
Pete carried on with his flute
without parental consent

his larynx engaged
as his footprints leave their clues
there would be scars over soot

townsfolk grab pitchforks
multilingual torches mad
with fear and grief chase down thief

find kids in a trance
listening to final dirge
and piper’s mocking laughter

parent takes the flute
second silence in forest
breaks the jester’s tool in half

Peter Piper’s dust to dust

Ronald Riddle

There once was a boy called Ronald Riddle
Now there was a kid who could really piddle
He weed here and he weed there 
That kid Riddle piddled everywhere.

People once thought that there’d been rain
Truth was Ronald was at it again 
Eventually the townsfolk just got madder
At the kid with the enormous bladder.

With pitchforks and clubs they chased him away
And the story is told to this very day
Now you may laugh and you may scoff
But this is how we got the term “piss off.”
