Notes About The Poem

It's Alive

"IT'S ALIVE"---The cry came from the hall
Which echoed off the gray stone walls
Then spilled beyond the castle grounds
Thus, rang through streets and filled the town

And so I ran with all my might
To witness this historic sight
And when I got there, all he said
"False alarm---the thing's still dead"

Dear Brenda, This I wrote as a tribute to Colin Clive in his amazing roll as Dr Frankenstein in the 1931 classic. His cry "It's Alive" was incredible and unforgettable. Thus "It's" the monster which is dead. Thanks Brenda.
