The Mad Dogs of Poetry
  
 My eyes cross a snowy vista
 where  beneath
 lay my unwritten works,
 poems of genius.
 But their paws dipple
 a virgin snow
 marking and teeth snarling,
 Lurchers, Greyhounds and Wolves
 vaulting across natural barirers,
 tacking trees in desolation
 and spoiling our natural glens
 exposing the steepness of craggy tors,
 all carniverous, howling growling
 across a a landscape witnessing
 an awful time
 barking in my head
 rushing for my mind
 weird dogs, frothing wolves
 just hurtling 
 through forests not caring
 of a direction as they 
 scatter across rocky ledges
 the mad dogs of poetry
 in chase
 of the verse of ultimate beauty
 of the human condition, the human soul
 personified ... the superb antlered deer
 a gentle and beloved beauty.
 It is a chase a hunt
 that has no respite.
