Howling at the Moon

Howling at the Moon

A Poem by Frieda P

...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 you really sang from a black little heart in this piece didn't you - the edge of insanity and the imagery - ah the imagery it could chill the backbone of even the most toughest of us! well done great read.

Completely freaked out by that picture, gotta say... And the anger exudes from the screen as I read this; those flames at the bottom intensifying the heat. Politicians - back-stabbers - our own personal demons... all could be the target of this apt tirade. Good write, though it embittered my morning Cheerios a bit!

Ha freaked me out too really, don't you have some sugar for those cheerios? ;-) Thanks Rita!
a poem with a tough vision, an attack upon people who do not speak the truth, with the use of thou the second person formal you give it ( I think ) a kind of Edgar Allen Poe feeling ..a good poem..

Have no clue where that came from actually Leslie, that's just the way I heard it in my head, thanks.. read more
"cut thy own tongue and feed it unto thy ego" One of the best lines I've seen penned anywhere. This was a dark poem chastising of those who are driven by ego, using fear to bring the weak to their knees. Definitely a mind piece here as the thoughts it produces are many. Very cool my good friend.

OMG remind me to never get on your bad side! That was a really powerful. I had to use my dear friend, Google, to look up some words 'cause you like your big words and my little mind doesn't know half of them. ;-P I'm just about to get out your way now, looks like you need to kill someone and that WON'T be me!!!

Promise me you'll never shout at me. I would become as a greasy stain on the floor that whimpered for his Mummy.
I love this. Strong and forthright.
