Great job on this poem! It is well written. The rhyming pattern works well in your poem and gives aid to the strength of the cadence. When I read your poem out loud the cadence has a nice sound to it. Your poetic devices that you used are well done. The tone of your poem is spooky and even scary. It tells a story, which is always nice for the reader. The picture you have chosen for your poem complements it nicely. Well done!

So this is the legend of the wolfman... a werewolf, perhaps? And it was a gypsy that did it to him. Interesting. People didn't trust gypsies because they were nomadic and not "normal" so they attributed all sorts of strange magic to them. Just another reason to hate a group that's different, I suppose.

Actually, the cursed man goes to the gypsy woman for help, but she tells him she can't do anything for him. He even offers to pay her handsomely, but it's too late. So, in this poem, my gypsy queen was good, not evil.
Thanks for reading and reviewing this for me Phyllis.

Ohhh... sorry, Gypsy lady. I misunderstood. So these gypsies have no magic potions after all. How did he get to be a wolfman then?

Previously bitten ... a lycanthrope since birth? I never really say. I kinda pick up where the traditional Wolfman story leaves off. Most everyone realizes how one becomes a werewolf, so I didn't feel it was necessary. Besides, it was lo-o-o-o-n-g enough, LOL!

I didn't know. I guess they're like vampires then....get bitten, turn into one. I wonder what the source of such silly myths might be... not likely anyone ever saw a vampire or a werewolf, so..... really a strange idea to come up with!

According to legend, a simple deep scratch can do it. And yes, it is a bit strange. But there truly are people who've exhibited the behaviors of a wolf. Howling, growling and such. Hence the term: Lycnathropy.

Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with riddles/fiddles...camp/damp...sealed/healed. Good description and alliteration. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message and helpful authors notes.
