Cursed celestial satellite-why do you torment me so?76 total reviews
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Left howling at the moon so to speak.
For once I was not struck by the horror of the tale but rather the wisdom of the message within.
Be careful what you wish for, for it just may come true -especially if you trust a stranger.

Comment from Leineco
What brought this fate upon him,
This moon lust transformation?
Ah - but does it really matter
the source or incantation?
What matters is, his soul is lost
to lupine inclinations -
humanity slowly draining
per gypsy's prognostication.
With a whimper transforming to growling,
neath the silvery glow of the moon
Aflame with the itch of conversion
last sound - a Romanian tune. . . . . .
Captivating write :-)

Comment from manicblue
Very well written -- and sooo scary! Mixing the mystery of gypsy's and the elusive werewolf had a profound effect on this reader. ;P
The dialogue between beast and gypsy was intriguing - both mysterious.
I only saw this: whisperd, soft and low-- (whispered)

Thanks,manicblue. I appreciate you pointing that out, and it has been addressed. Much obliged!
Comment from w.j.debi
Dark and enchanting look at the cursed werewolf legend. Excellent rhythm that carries this tale forward with such a mysterious air. The rhyme scheme is well done. But best of all, the story is captivating. You weave in the gypsy queen, the curse and the brooding musical strains masterfully to give a foreboding and hopeless feeling to the tale. The artwork caps it off. Very well crafted.

Comment from Twilightspire
Wow. This was an amazing poem. More story than poetry in my mind, but hey. The words you chose all added up to tell a time honored tale, the curse of the werewolf. I love the descriptions you used throughout the piece, small but powerful. Truly amazing job on this. You must be reading my mind, I've.been thinking of found a wolf story for the sentence starts the story contest. Lol. Great work.

Comment from GregoryCody
I'm glad you had notes, I was literally just going to ask you about cimbalon. This flows so well. I love your use of apostrophes. Makes the poetry speak to the reader. Really adds zing, flavor. This is interesting too! Eerie and entertaining! Its good to read your work again, I've been gone a while.

Comment from DALLAS01
Your poem builds fear from the bottom up. The hi-lighted verses, placing the emphasis on the moon are very effective. The poems mystery lies not only in the story itself, but also in the language of another century taut with mystery and superstition. The author notes are an added treat.

Hi Dean,
you show your poetic talent of rhyming and story telling us all at once.
Your use of words such as - woebegone monster gave me the feeling of remorse for the man pegging not to be a beast when the moon is full.
