Monster

Moon eclipses devouring lips;
wind is blowing, saliva drips.
Vapors lift on creature cunning;
moon is showing, blood is running.	

The darkness falls and claws do reach;	
the beast calls and its arms beseech.
Blood is running on graveyard palls;
the fear pervades and darkness falls.

Terror invades and vapors lift,	
wolf is howling and my eyes shift.
Darkest Hades, fear is dunning
skeleton beach, but blood is running.

Repetition can be detrimental to poetic delivery but as this work clearly demonstrates it can also enhance. Well done.
