Bereft

Boorish hater of light.
Bashful, burrowing soul.
Baited with putrid smells,
Bereft of colorize.
Basking in dirt and damp.
Baying at sounds above.
Being ... once a human.

Just saw this message to me. I rarely see replies, but yes, I watched the american version of that tv show Being Human as well. Hey, can you suggest for me your personal favorite among your poems. I am running late and can't seem to find one of yours that I have not already seen and I don't have time for the long narrative. HOpefully another day!!

a lonely wolf man this must be!! did you ever watch the BBC show 'Being Human" It was a ghost living with a vampire and a wolfman. It too explored the sadness of those who would lose their humaneness.
