become pale and lose their heat
the north wind brings snow

My eye is sore 
The idea of meeting you
Has dissolved in my body
And nobody can stop me
The solution is toxic
I’m snarling at the shore
Where are you?...

giant black dogs
corner in the back yard
snarling
black sky simmers overhead 
a dirty cauldron
there are never enough warm clothes
in the closet
for a dead man...

Pan frying union of
sausage and bacon
snarling eggs sunny side up
topped with lightly spiced
mushroom and tomatoes
harmonized
yum!

Pug-nosed pugnacious Polly loved to fight
She started brawls every Saturday night
Snapping, snarling, punching, sneak pinching too
I don’t want to go to bars with her. Do you?...

     Embedded in the snare of self-sacrifice
   twisting and snarling only able to bleed....

Tailgaiters and speeders
Scream and yell, you can all go to he** ....
Until they get past you,
Then they start their ranting and snarling 
All over again!...

a strand in your hand
attached to a dream
that pulls snarling bulls
into the bit stream
to squeeze with decrees
most narrow in scheme
so thought overwrought
can crush all esteem....

Twisting, blistering, heat,
Can’t breathe.
Snakes, turning, chasing.
Panic enters.
Biting, snatching, snarling,
Falling, sinking.
Struggling for breath.
One chance to leave,

Escape....

The Witch’s incantations
Slowly bubbling
Acrid arguments
Denying a truce.

The Warlock’s whispers
Chortling conjecture
Snarling sentiments
Battering a peace.

Impatient Inez could not wait her turn
Growling, snapping, snarling, doing a burn
Thinking she is the only one to wait for this groom
How did she miss the other nine of us in this waiting room?...

Lover
Sensual, sultry
Kissing, touching, tasting
Bodies, lips, teeth, claws
Snarling, ripping, tearing
Sharp, vicious

witches
with their black hats
and their snarling mean cats
dancing and prancing crazy truth
shaking their booty in Halloween way
enchanting gingerbread cookies
casting magic potions
teaching younger

Dangbert was snorting and snarling and gnashing his teeth
He is feverously ferocious, full of anger and grief.
The old dragon watched, from her mountain seat high.
Thrilled to death of her son, who was scaring this guy....

he's a heavy
metal ballerina
without
the tutu

rapidly tip
toeing double
bass drums
accompanied

by cymbals
and snare
snarling
beat to

beat the band
but the music
box never
slowly 

winds down
but abruptly

stops...

A pack of snarling wolves
baying for my blood.
Battered, bruised and bleeding
yet I won’t give up the fight!

Insanely bad mood
Snippy and snarling
He is four-years-old
Fighting his nap time
Baby sitter folds

He falls asleep
at six o’clock
when parents come
to take him home

grouchy boy
cannot eat
wants his bed

routine
broken

sad

Time is a ribbon of silver thread
Spun by the spider, Space,
Cob-webbing Man’s bewildered face,
Snarling his dense, doomed head.

Love is the only sure weapon Man
Wields against the net
Time has woven and tautly set,
Sword it as best you can....
