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.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/31/2016 3:19:00 PM 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!! Login to Reply Tom Arnone Date: 8/31/2016 3:26:00 PM I like them all, Andrea (so modest am I). ;-)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/16/2016 3:56:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Tom Arnone Date: 8/16/2016 8:15:00 PM I watched the American version on the SyFy Channel.
