Dogs! They show more loyalty than this that he has shown to me. Meager how the gather'd pack will growl at death she will attack a soft footfall well down the road the bristled neck the stance the scold of the low warn howling thus: "trespassers must die-- it's 'us'" (or them) warns wolf saliva loose slivering the moon into halves that cling-- a lingering warm in stark malignancy "rrrrrrrrrroll" instinctive purr of throat, "Not another step." She broke-- the silence of this night she said: "I am bitch. And you? are dead." |

And you're up late missy! This really isn't my style, but I liked the last two lines |

hey this was really great. I loved the ending! But i must confess- the title was what brought me to read this good poem, looking forward to more I left my wallet in El Segundo... |

All I can say is wow. That really felt like the sting of a betraying lover, if you ask me. Enjoyed its "balls-to-the-walls" realism. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

Was it you that lamented once, "How many poems can you write about the moon?" So they get a little darker, then? Why not Why not e |

Well, e, just like the moon, I have my phases. And I still lament my own writings. I told a friend who was commenting on how prolific I am with my poetry and I said, "NOT"--I have only written six poems--all the rest are re-writes of those..." shaking my head here--thanks to all for reading my rant. Both here in the reply box and above. I truly don't consider myself a poet. A storyteller? sure, but a poet? tsk... |

you never cease to give me a new perspective on writing poetry. life *is* a bitch. you gotta bite back. We are all luminous beings, not merely crude creatures of matter. |

Serenity Blaze, I applaud you, lady. Hope things worked out tonight. Awhile back, my mom sent me a forward regarding the word, bitch. If I ever get your email I'll send it if I can find it. ....jo |

Jo-jo? Would that be the one that states that the word bitch simply means-- Babe In Total Charge of Herself? On the other hand, I told my daughter once, it was a word invented by men to describe women who have the audacity to behave as if they had the sames rights as men. (raising a militant?) |
