interesting piece of poetry! and a morbid as numero uno. i have to pop this stanza out
Lunar legacy darkens deep - your soul,

beware moonbeams luster, luminous glow!
Wolf's bloody malevolence will be sought,
undoing the good in the life you wrought.

Dean, you are in my eyes a master horror story/poet. Your writings are sincerely frightful, full of your great imagination and very thought provoking stories or poetry. I wish I had half of your talent.

Two fictional creatures that have fascinated me all my life is the vampire and the werewolf. Undeniably, the two most insidiously fearsome creatures of our minds. It is funny how the Gypsy's from Romania are central to these stories.

I am so pulled into this piece of writing that I read it twice. Great stuff my friend,,,,,,,Jim

Another of your intriguing and masterful horror tales, so well orchestrated. Sorry, but I've been away for awhile. I always enjoy your work, and this piece is no exception.

This is such a stylish poem. The archaic language excites imagination, and the setting is beautifully sketched through wonderful imagery (yon silv'ry celestial satellite). I enjoyed the background on the wolf man. It gave connection to the voice as he evolves into a werewolf (assumed). I love the story telling via the voice of the desperate man, who is not helped much by a gypsy queen. The gypsy music and night scenes add to the wonderful mood of the piece. Great poetic style and storytelling.

Your final end note is a hoot...and a great relief after the darkness of this superb writing. Many people enjoy werewolf tales and this one easily draws readers in as it explains so well the beginning moment of casting the monstrous spell. Very well presented, Dean, with that horrifying picture and line lay-out.

Hi Dean, a great presentation of your work as usual. Regards to suffering as a wolf man, I could not contribute to any knowledge of it. But I do know more about the affects of the moon on humans. Some are more affected than others. It was documented from a theater nurse who studied the surgeries during the full moon and people bled more. And we have heard that asylums are chaotic during this period. Carl, Gustav Jung studied with Freud, they both analysed dreams. But they parted through disagreements.

Well done. Mary

Hello Dean. oh how I love a good scream. It is such a relief to read this and to feel the hair on my neck twitch. I read a lot of poetry on this site, and most of it is good, it just doesn't have this kind of bite.
People get scred off by a good bit of urban myth. What do they do in their dreams, edit out the bad bits?
Thanks, I need a push to get on with Danny. Though now is, 'backgound time', I can hardly wait to write the dark bits.
Take care and look under your chair before you walk away

Well you truly earned the six stars, wish I had ten to give you, really. This is one of the most well written, unique, well put together (artwork, color,and the glowing moon surprise at the end and the facts in your notes) I am blown away, really. I could start pointing out parts I really loved, but I don't want to rewrite your entire piece here! Unreal. A story within a poem. Just the right amount of chilling for a Sat/Sun at 2:50 a.m. BRAVO! You are truly talented. Keep writing, don't ever stop!
