Author's Notes: This is a re-post of "Animal of the Night," which is a Narrative Quatrain write that my colleague, Liam McDaid, and I closely collaborated on during its various stages of research, development, finalization. (NOTE: Liam had made this first posting of our co-write here several days earlier.) This poem is steeped in some compelling interrelated themes that find meaning and linkage to certain identified aspects of Greek Mythology. In this sense, the narrative speaks for itself. This macabre write is panoplied with some definite demonstrative imagery that transmits a compelling "word picture" for each one of the eight stanzas of this work. This poem is structured around a number of thematic classification categories. Among the seven of them that seemed to rise to the top during our analysis of this poem, include: betrayal, corruption, emotions, evil, hate, metaphor, and symbolism. Please enjoy reading this one a second time around here with my post of it today! If it's you're first time reading it, that's quite wonderful too! I know that both Liam and I were quite pleased with the end result of this poem. (Gary Bateman - November 28, 2015) (Narrative Quatrain)
