Friends in Low Places – Unfinished Business…

friends-in-low-places

Lusting for her fall
Your four ears in on her calls
Sharing how she bleeds

Re-tooled her story
While you bonded in secret
Winking together

Crispy grins & glee
Pleased to have gifted chagrin
A graceless friendship

Sometimes what seems like the ending is really only a middle… whole rooms of space for the plot to thicken or the potential for an especially satisfying twist, or so I’ve heard.

Animal Crackers – Hiding Haiku Facades

animal-crackersLackluster works fly
Critique: trying far too hard
To gain the best howl

Outdated phrases
Begin to sound desperate
Like ‘dances with wolves’

Such ease, in the end
To crack up a dull ego
Toss words like raw meat

Rawr…

I got a really great laugh out of this one, and thank you, friends who sent me all sort of inspiring fodder. I thank you for your continuing support and care.

When Muses Say Goodbye

new_hope_by_daxxe-d95s21p

Right there in his hands
He’d held the light, finally
Rescue imminent

“RISE”, love cried loudly
“Please don’t shout so”, he bemoaned
I’ll just fall down

Swampy Sirens crooned
Songs full of stale, trite intrigue
Their shadows now home

Angels cried, “Silence!”
“Hush all those false noises, shh.”
It’s up to you now

Redemption

Red tree 2The 3 demons urged
Sacrifice the Valkryie
Aye, smirked he, it’s done

She rose to the light
After shedding wings of blood
Freed of all demons

Demon sustenance
Disrespect, disloyalty
Forever vanquished
