They barked like they had
lightning in their throats;
a horrific storm of terror
safe behind a hurricane fence.
I went over, and stuck my fingers
through the security of their threat,
the ferocity of their thunder
flashed with fiercely licking tongues.

Wow, that is a good read!
This reminds me that I hate barking dogs.
Do you?
Sounds like my neighborhood. :)
niceeee
Nice alliteration at the end.
The incongruity of fiercely licking tongues made me smile, but sometimes they can lick you to death! ;-) Nice riff off of a hurricane fence.
there's a saying in slovenia, something like a dog that barks doesn't bite, and you seemed to have it experienced quite literally :)
really enjoyed this one!
Thanks Don!!

Cathy, these are little yappers. They yap, yap, yap til I put my fingers through the fence then they lick, lick, lick.
Andrew there are a bunch of them here. Just a real PetsMart community.
Thanks Kai!!
Thanks for noticing Russell. It wasn't by accident either. Mrs. Cannon would've been proud of me.
Thanks M!! Glad you caught it.
Polona, I kind of know these dogs. I don't make it a habit of sticking my hand out to a barking dog. Thank you!!
