Notes About The Poem

Werewolf

Thick, black clouds gathered overhead,
veiling the moonlight with guise dread. 

Wind weaves with howls, and spies embed
a gaunt hollow man in its stead,
lifting his black mound shroud a ted,
refusing to release its dead.

Strain, he stands searchingly ahead; 
pain screams rip from his throat and bled.
A stir in the air dares to sped
on as he falls to his knees unfed.

I bow to you master poetess Eve. A creative masterpiece offered by your golden inked pen. Truly a great poem w/superb imagery unmatched. I love horror, esp. gothic horror. A truly original write. You turned on the black night light for sure w/this beaut. Love and smiles always.

SCARY one, Eve. I like that you thought outside the box and did not do typical Halloween words. I will get mine up soon!! It's kind of different too.
