Notes About The Poem

 

FRANKENSTEIN

Funky dude is massive
Fav Halloween monster
Fancies life’s lighter side
Feels a need to be loved
Friends are what he wants most
Finds no one to hang with
Freak is what all call him

A freaky dude indeed. Love the classic Franky image above of Boris Karloff, wow! You've captured the true him, CayCay. Perfect Peliades ~

One of my favorite Holidays. What's nice about being old is, I don't need a mask to be scary. Frank, Drac, wolfy -- can't go wrong. Best of luck in contest.

What's nice about being me is that my eyes are so bad, if I take my glasses off the house is gorgeous and I'm beautiful. Thanks, Joe, for reading and commenting. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

GREAT job. Did you say your son was in on this one too? I bet you have fun doing these easier contests and including him. I loved doing the Candy theme.

I like the way you probed into the soul behind the mask. Perhaps he was a forerunner of 'Boo Radley' in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Bravo, CayCay.

YES, Boo Radley!!! Indeed. Just like Casper the ghost, too, all Frank wanted was a friend. CayCay

Like Casper the friendly ghost…perhaps they can be friends.

Yes, somewhere Frank and Casper are eating popcorn and watching Dennis the Mennis. That's what I heard, anyway. CayCay

Thanks, Paige. Just like Casper the Friendly Ghost, I always wanted Frankenstein to make a friend. I'm a softy. CayCay
