One Deadly Bite

You stand there your 
Heart beat slows and 
You stare in to his deadly yellow eyes
You want to run but your legs wont move 

You hear him howl as he lowers his head and growls as
If saying go ahead try and 
Run

You stand there surrounded by 
Trees no one but you and him
He digs his paws in to the 
Ground as if he was about to 

Pounce
Can’t move can’t scream 
Can’t breath can’t do a thing 
But wait for the deadly 

Beast to unleash its bite to end it all
A single drop of sweat falls down my face 
He watches it drop as if time has stopped
Just then you make a dash and he 

Smiles just a little 
Thinking great fast food
He bends down and he sprints after you
He’s on your heels and you hear him
Growl 

You fall and roll and he stands over you
You look in his yellow eyes and they 
Say bye-bye 
Last thing you see it the moon lit
Sky 

Then it’s all over with 
One deadly bite

Scary imagery of the werewolf in this fine poem. I have also written a poem about the werewolf. It's called " The Beast Within " if you get a chance to read it, i would love your take on it. You can find it either on here, or my website under Fantasy, Fantasy 2 on www.thehighlanderspoems.com >> James

You deserve credit for being able to imagine such a scene. I couldn't do it. It takes a lot of courage to be able to go where you have gone. Impressive!
