I like all types of poetry, but sometimes the simplest form hits home quicker.
God it was sad The guy next door just shot the howling dog Now it howls no more Dog lovers cried in vain They came from far and wide To pay homage To the howling dog That howls no more The guy next door Realised to late The howling dog Became his fate.

The Howling Dog
The grave was freshly dug Just awaiting the arrival of the body Four Ghosts stood silent in wait They had waited a long time The waiting was over The gravestone would remain nameless There would be no mourners No prayers goodbye The body was checked for the final time A customerly nod would start proceedings The coffin was placed into the hole The gravediggers quickly shovelled the earth back into place. No words were spoken Satisfied, they left Four Ghosts stood silent in wait They had waited a long time. The waiting was over Four Ghosts Now Became Five.

The Last Ghost.
She was never young, that was her problem Always direct Pregnant That wasn’t a problem Why bother informing You should know What should I know Ambition comes before brat Dead before life started So strange He started taking life Years of taking life Years of hate Years of nothing Unexpected encounter Ambition achieved Both hardened She can’t have children now Not now It was like they both killed Killed everything worth living Both pragmatic as they said goodbye To life maybe chosen Every book ends Not always to sequel She lived her work He just lived Life twisting as life does. Until the book is finally closed.

The Woman.
How many ******* times had that mirror lied. Just stood there and blatantly lied. Probably laughed it's ******* head off How many times did that mirror scream You look ******* hot, girl If those **** could talk They would be shouting I’m all yours But he ain't He’s off with a ******* librarian Who the **** jumps a librarian Every guy demands a ***** You marry librarians That’s all you do She would show him ******* sophistication She would show him sophistication Short skirts became dress suits Blonde to black She just oozed power Stood across from him Gazing into his soul He kept glancing at her Sensing the challenge Sensing victory She played with him Feigning indifference Getting into his head Pushing all the right buttons The mirror laughed Like it knew How the game would ensue You marry librarians That’s all you do...

The Mirror
He watched her, tenderly soothing their child Radiance of a beautiful woman Gentle like snow Later he would be with another woman One who would perform degrading *** acts on him One who would act out his fantasies In his tortured world Sometimes in his sleep, it would happen She would scream him awake Bad dream honey Yes, bad dream She was so pure He needed to be punished He needed her Piercing into his soul Treating him like the dog he was Naked and pleading Begging for her ****** pleasures He watched her sleeping Gentle like snow He saw her Tantalising in every mans dream Releasing the chains But not the pain.

Chains.
In the midst lies the answer In the distance, it lays in wait To be brought out in its uttermost feelings The anxiety is sometimes frightening The distress terrifying The effect suppresses the wait The waiting prolongs Past memories unshed themselves A sudden chill unfolds finding no mercy The mind finds everlasting peace Leaving the soul to eternal emptiness.

Somewhere
Bottle of ***** one knitting needle We only sell knitting needles in pairs. Of Course, you do. All good things come in pairs. Would you like a bag for life, save the planet. A bag for life would be wonderful. He lied, she thought. But that was just typical of men. She should show him the bag. You said it was a bag for life. But it’s not. Look inside, you lied. She sure didn’t feel good Blood and blob The ***** did the job Flush the lie Now she could die She didn’t die Just cried It didn’t help Just the way she felt Time moves on Secret stays hidden Tomorrow's another day Just another day But life is strange He noticed she was heavily pregnant Nice to see you’re still saving the planet Yes, we all have to do our part A bag for life Treasured possession.

Bag for life.
The rain had brought the animals into shelter They were wary of him He could sense their concern The smell was wrong He was the unknown He felt the same Always out of place His mind drifted back Her face came into view The words distorting Anger through the tears She would find another He was sure of that The snake slithered over him Curious, but alert to danger Trigger alert, just like him He hated going back They hated him **** water townsfolk They flew the flag But not for him His surroundings suited Camouflaged, just like his life They came into view Four shots, death in the rain The animals scattered for a time But slowly returned They were wary of him The smell was wrong Dead humans appeared to surround him Her face came into view The words distorting Flags were waving She understood now The animals began to accept him He was part of the surroundings.

Death in the rain.
If I could take you out the grave Put you back in the car Slow down Reverse back Not have that argument I would.

Regret.
Someone died today No headlines The two lines on page nine taken up with the rescue of the local cat Just a statistic Would be sad But there really wasn’t time for that The vicar performing a wedding that day Didn’t really need this Put out, but would fit it in The fifty pound fee would come in handy His parents wouldn’t be attending He was such a disappointment to them Could have been a doctor Instead followed his dream Sometimes dreams take time Just like life Sometimes life is cruel The dog wasn’t badly hurt Just dazed when the car hit it The crowd gathered, concerned Man's best friend He lay in the corner, dying People passed him by Just a statistic Following his dream Into the next life...
