What a strange, mystical write. I have read of the plight of the werewolf but never in such poetic terms. The otherworldly nature of this poem and the enigmatic presentation add to the cloaked evil edge of your words. Excellent write. Very thought-provoking. My hats off to you.

Thank you, bard owl. I'm thankful that you decided to give it a shot. I appreciate the kind comments.
Comment from Dom G Robles
I marvel at the rhyme and rhythm of this poem; so excellently done. And then the meaning of the words so deeply chosen and the real meaning of what they are saying. And then the extensive citations that have not been so common but need some reading and background to know more of what it is and to really understand. This is one kind of poetry I really appreciate. It is, to me. a classical one. My sincere congratulations.

Goodness me, that was one chilling poem, so well written, conveys all the drama of this poor man's 'affliction' really well. The vivid imagery is so clear, I could have been watching a film, (horror film) Well done! xsx Sandra

Comment from Kingsrookviii
Wow. This is great stuff. It reads better than any horror movie ever could be. This is the most perfect horror poem I have seen. I'm thankful for the note, but it evoked that gypsy style music from the start. This is by far the spookiest poem I have read. When I was a kid this would have given me nightmares and it still may! That is one bad ass looking werewolf! Great job and a TON OF FUN.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I think the six says what I think of
your writing, which always shows how
talented you are,Dean - and no music!!
Suited me, rather than making me sit
on the edge of the seat - the poems
are frightening enough, my friend.

Ha ha, thanks, Margaret, I always value your opinions. Nope, no music with this one. I'm glad you liked it anyway, LOL.
Comment from adewpearl
I like the alliterative title
also good alliteration in your opening line
good consonance and assonance in light beguiles
cursed caravan, beast unshackled - many excellent phrases that convey well the dark and dangerous atmosphere
definitely a spine tingling addition to your scary collection

Comment from ravenblack
As a kid, I werewolves were my favorite monster, Werewolf by Night my favorite comic and I devoured any movie that featured my four legged friends. The Freud notes were cool- such a dream. I like that this has a classic , Famous Monsters of Filmland feel to it, a black-and-white Larry Talbot quivering before the gypsy.

Thanks, ravenblack, and that was precisely the feel I was shooting for. I'm very glad it came across that way to you.
Comment from michaelcahill
I love this. There is always a basis for things and that is where the chills come from I think, that part of us that relates in some recess in our minds that relates. Interesting how much of horror finds roots in the imagination. Like creativity gone just a bit askew. And then a "sane" mind has some fun with it! Hahaha. Always fun and always informative and though provoking. Great piece. mikey

Comment from Maltese Falcon
This poem is not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting it to be all supernatural and gory. you have a well written and though provoking piece here.

Thank you, Maltese, and no, I loathe gore. Gore is not horror, it's slasher. In horror, it is the information the author withholds from the reader that often creates the worst nightmares. Isn't imagination wonderful?

I agree with you :)
