Growl

Growl

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Growl.
Dog eat
Dog.
Guttural
sound.
Flashing
of white.
Fangs
exposed.
Pecking
order.
How
established.
Jungle
world.
Jockeying
for
position.
Pushback.
Otherwise
dominated.
Jungle,
survival
of the
fittest.
Climbing
the ranks
or pushed
to the
bottom.
Humanity
no different.
Animals all.
Growling.
Flashing
of fangs.
Stand and
fight,
less
driven
from the
scene.
Animals
all.

Growl, dog eat dog Grabbed me by the throat John. What I especially like is the visual approach you've opted for. At first read the urge is to simply race through, letting the rage of words rush through you. Then when you return to it for a 2nd read you (or at least I did) find you're lingering over each word to breathe in all the possibilities each suggests.

Great read

Hi KeB,
Thank you kindly for your comment

There is a vibrance and energy to your art that is unique, visceral, and engrossing. Each line subliminal in message as well as haunting. It's why I'm a fan.
