SoSo Somebody Poet Rhyme

Frankenstein's Monster

Take the dead;
use their parts
to make a wretch,
this morbid art—
Frankenstein, Frankenstein!
You are to blame
for the deadness
in your heart.

Great scientists
applaud you,
what— because you
play a god!
Frankenstein, Frankenstein!
Broad paths
are better
left untrod.

Look in the mirror;
See the true beast!
You are the nightmare
stealing your sleep!
Oh, Frankenstein;
The self is the
monster that haunts
you—haunts me.

Yann Rolland January 15, 2024 at 4:59 PM so deep, and ravishing portrait, this monster haunts many, as a metaphor too, inspriing poem, thanks poet SoSo Somebody January 15, 2024 at 5:49 PM I'm glad you think so! Yes, Frankenstein remains a favorite read of mine because of its portrayals of self and fear. Incredible read, I don't think it could ever get old.
