Howling at the Moon

...when the quiet transfixed my eyes,

finally realized your darkly overt tenor

no matter how often you change colors

beastly burdens invasion upon mine soul

piranha eating flesh of thy innocent young

professing peace, love, interminable charity

wolf in sheep masquerade of disavowel's claws

scraping bottom of bowels and viscera

have you no soul, even fiends take offense

cut thy own tongue and feed it unto thy ego

wallowing in the contradictions thine own self

repudiation will be thou own ruination in hell

This is really great. You see, I love poems that are political in nature. Whilst reading this, I couldn't help but picture sardonic politicians around the world. Such potency in your metaphors and vivid imagery, Frieda. After reading several of your poems, I think you can now have an anthology of them. I love that your poems are empowering.

[Frieda P]

Jazzed you felt this one Day's Eye...politicians would certainly fit the bill here! Thanks so much for your glowing review, it's made my day...

[The Daisy]

I'm glad. :)

[Scott Metro]

[Lyn Anderson]

The evil ripples under the surface, lurking in the dark, inside the body of a man - betrayer, liar, abuser! Thank you for sharing this incredible piece with me.

[Frieda P]

Thanks KL< I'm kind of fond of this one myself, glad you read it...

[Leigh]

I am intrigued by this poem and how you describe the dual personas of the weir wolf? I like the line 'cut thy own tongue and feed it unto thy ego' great stuff

[InsanityWriter]

Wow!

"repudiation will be thou own ruination in hell"

I love that line... ;) Excellent piece.

[Blue Ivory]

Oh dear god! I wonder what horrific thing made you write this! Every single line, every phrase, they're all so powerful! I love the last line. It leaves the reader feeling the magic of your piercing words one last time. Damn I missed coming here!

[Kristin Lee]

Wow, talk about powerful imagery! I love it. "Have you no soul?" The overall theme of the grotesque indiscretions of the beastly nature hidden within us all...the dark side. And yet, some would argue that even Vampires are hunted by their souls. Great, great write up.

[Tai Ryens]

I find it amusing to see the monstrosity as a politician.. Especially the "even fiends take offense" part. Well done!

[Zahra]

have you no soul, even fiends take offense

Really strong piece, I wish I could express anger as well as you do. . . Wonderfully woven and really i think all of us have encountered such people in our lives. 100/100

[Frieda P]

Wow thanks for this glowing review, wasn't too hard actually, someone dredged up some old memories I have for my abuser, so it merely spewed out, thanks so much!

[kublakhan27]

I want to make a joke about how this doesn't sound like the work of one who doesn't like Shakespeare, but I don't want to make light of what's obviously an intense and visceral piece...the imagery crackles like the flames of hell itself...powerful stuff my dear.

[Frieda P]

Seriously Steve, I have no clue where that came from, or why, just the way I heard it in my head, must be Sybil at work again. ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha should I be worried? ;)

[Frieda P]

Nah I'm not drinking that tequila ever again ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha I commend your bravery, which trumps mine when it comes to tequila ;P

[Frieda P]

Yeah, never again turned into just this once...hence...thine Lol ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha my influence must be rubbing off ;)

[Frieda P]

Lol I was wondering why I was so jumpy lately ;-P x

[kublakhan27]

Haha as long as you don't start channeling my mood patterns you'll be alright ;P x

[Frieda P]

Ha then I start drinking tequila again ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha a good idea ;)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

And I like the way you expose this b*****d for what he truely is! even so it is a mild rash compared to what I would have him suffer

[Frieda P]

Ha mild rash, hardly...thanks John.
