Full Moon

I was nervous on that first date On that summer eve in June When we strolled hand in hand Beneath a crescent moon She told me Luna had a spell on her And with that I did agree She said it filled her with romantic charms I said it brought out the beast in me She thought I meant a tiger But little did she know I'd soon reveal my secret When the full moon glowed Everything was going fine We got along quite well I thought she was divine She thought of me as swell But things went awry that August night When she got a fright, The stars were strewn across a velvet sky And the full moon was in sight! That's when my secret I did reveal in the full moon's gleam, Right before her eyes, I turned into a werewolf! She bolted from me that night, I still can hear her scream I just stood there like a hairy goon Howling at the moon ... 2/15/17 Theme: Becoming a Werewolf

You just gotta keep lookin' - lots of girls are into that stuff. Just peruse Craigslist and you'll see what I mean. Great poem. Loved the change in rhythm as you evolved into your other self

When I think of werewolves, I think of Warren Zevon, "Werewolves of London" or the silly movie "Teenage Werewolf" with Michael J Fox. Cool poem, Joseph. Don't come near me, I've got some wolfsbane:)
