A plaintive wail wells up within The kind to a full moon must give in Such solitary sorrow solar plexus kept What torment there as I dreamless slept That waking finds howl ready to throat Remembering sisters of soul one now remote The other years passed away from me Howlers at the moon were we Giving voices to our goddesses Expressing our inner essences I am...be! Those are of times behind me I was...been Too long ago passed my friend Perhaps she came to me in that dreamless night Again we met as our essences bright And in that dream not remembered I was again myself unencumbered Of self inflicted pain and sorrow Only to wake and on the ‘morrow Have nothing left me but the longing LGR©11/24/10 |

This is a hurtful poem / Agonizingly hurtful. / Even with the longing there is sweetness in that if we but look. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Well done! Liked the feeling, content and form.  Me? I'm an only child and was never a howler. But there were times I might of... Peace."We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Shades of Ginsberg... with your own take... there's howl, and then there's 'howl', hey... I sympathize. Best~ Amaryllis A pile of scribbles here: |
