      Atrocity's Yellow Screams

        Yellow Atrocity Screams In the depth of night,when all is silent,I can hear you scream.It’s a blood screamnot from a dream butthe reality of human atrocity.This sound is yellow,the shade often seen hiding in shadow,or imagined while listeningto a morose...

      • This is so empowering. We need to stop this.

      • Hi Curt. I know I left a review for this poem on WC, but the message is so important, I’m glad you shared it here too.

        The imagery on this piece is haunting- The yellow scream is so vivid, almost synesthetic image that makes human atrocity feel terrifyingly alive.

        The way sound, color, and darkness intertwine lingers long after reading.

      Calico queen

      She rules over rosebush hideouts,rock parapets,and fortified fences. Her silky mixed formstalks the garden at nightwith luminescent emerald eyes. Insatiable and insular,myopic and inscrutable,she rarely revealsher perspective. Confident but cautious,she'll sleuth and slinkshe'll hide,and she'll think,and hardly blink. Mice, she dispenses with.Intruders, she...

      • Aww she sounds like she has everything under control. Nice;))

      • I love this tribute to the Calico Queen–her confidence, elegance, and sly playfulness leap off the page! She reminds me so much of my tuxedo cat with her gorgeous green eyes — my cat is such a girly girl tho, she leaves the hunting to her big brother, she doesn’t want to get dirty lol. But she rules the house with just as much grace and charm.

        • They do have a charm of their own, don’t they. Thanks for the nice comment, Romaj.

          • I have a tuxedo cat, too, but she is 180 degrees from yours. I can’t blame her though; she’s a rescue who lost an eye due to some terrible treatment. It took two years before she would let me touch her. Now she wakes me by standing on my chest in the morning and bits me if I don’t get up right away. But we love her.

            A very nice write, Tim. I really enjoyed this.

      • I have a male orange tabby who has the mentality of a dog. I’ve had cats all my life, at times, multiples. I love adopting when I can, even the older ones that have a tendency to be overlooked. I don’t believe a house is a home without one – a dog or a cat, or whatever you choose. They all need love, and it seems to me your calico queen has taken over the residence, quite nicely!

      • Thanks for the nice comment, Kelly. 🙂

      • Beautifully penned, Tim. Cats are spectacular companions. Mine passed away a few summers back, a year apart. They lived to the age of 20 & 21 respectively. They seen me at my worst and my best. Appreciate you.

        • They’re nice little companions to have around. Sorry about yours. Thanks for the comment, Damian. 🙂
