Changing
The full moon rises
And all seems still
But from inside
I feel a chill.
Running out into the night
I find a place to hide
To turn into the awful beast
I've always been inside.
Tearing deep from inside my skin
I feel it hungry, new.
Bubbling right up to the surface
Craving humans like you.
I can't control the sudden change
from human to foul beast.
The only thing I remember now
Is that I want to feast.
And all seems still
But from inside
I feel a chill.
Running out into the night
I find a place to hide
To turn into the awful beast
I've always been inside.
Tearing deep from inside my skin
I feel it hungry, new.
Bubbling right up to the surface
Craving humans like you.
I can't control the sudden change
from human to foul beast.
The only thing I remember now
Is that I want to feast.

Fantastic werewolf poem! I have written a couple myself over the years, but what was very unique about yours is the way you describe the whole transformation into the beast. Rather than it being a physical description, you chose to go the route of portraying it from a psychological point of view, which was fascinating. At least, that was the vibe I got from reading this! I loved this and your Faerie poem also. You have great poetic talent, my friend! And since you are a new member: let me welcome you to Deep Underground. You will do very well here, with such depth and skill.

Very interesting poem Lena. :) I like how you made the reader feel as if they were in your state of mind as you transformed. :)
