    Sorry- I tend to say 'a bit' quite often. It's something I'm working on, but alas, such things take time. Anyhoo, thanks!

    I fought I would contribute a more serious poem as opposed to the other one I posted here, it went a bit dark so you have been warned.

    The rising full moon a portent of my doom

    It's light awakening the beast within

    Restless to be released to the hunt

    Its hunger increasing with the moon's rise

    Who will it be this time who meets their demise

     

    Strengthened by the moon's light the beast began to emerge

    My body twisting and contorting as it fought to break free of its cage

     The beast breaking  through my skin as it escaped

    Free at last the beast howled out its victory

    Free to hunt with me caged inside in misery

     

    The best smelled prey beginning the hunt

    It stalked its prey from the shadows waiting to strike

    Jumping from the shadows when it could wait not longer

    The beast saw only its dinner

    From my cage inside I saw my sister

     

    With the moon's retreating light the beast began to weaken

    Its body twisting and contorting as it fought to remain free

    My body returning to me as it was forced back to its cage

    Chained to my knowledge the beast

    I was not free but bound forever in horror

    This is actually really saddening, but I like it a lot. Good job.

    I tend to be grumpy about grammar 'a bit' too - that's just one of my pet peeves

    Is there a charge?

    I might try to sell it on ebay later...

    Thanks! I've made it a proper blog post after the reaction it's gotten here- 'Bloodmoon Rising', under my Memoirs of Mundus collection. I'd appreciate any comments you have on the poem, of course-here or on the post. Thanks again!
