For comes this night

A full moon brings out some very strange things

 

 

For Comes This Night

Jack Ivey

 

Of this - the darkest night doth howl

Lest screams of feature bear thy truth

Lone among the silhouettes

Dare fall - of thee doth cast the proof

 

Night skies aglow - this wicked glare

Awash against my tethered brow

Formed of such in honest fare

To call me - oh I beg thee now

 

Whence the moon so full of hate

Breathes this life into my soul

Bringing forth the sad debate

Lost within - I can’t control

 

The taste - O’ blood of somber youth

In fear - the sweetest of them all

This hunger speaks in foreign tongue

Till shame does lift of stories tall

 

Does this shadow paint thy death?

O’ of days so numbered few

Cast thy waning final breath

This - the last thing you shall do

 

For comes this night - the scheduled beast

Beneath the light of blood lit moon

Mere simple flesh to be my feast

O’er found - thy sorted soul now due

 

Of this - the darkest night doth howl

As evil courses every vein

Beware the sound the wolf does wail

For he shall meet you here again

[Jack...]

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

[first second third]

no problem keep up the good work

[Geon Quuin]

Although it had a decent rhyme scheme, I think the language was little too forced. I always find it hard to use old English in my poems which is why I avoid it. Nonetheless, your effort was not for naught. Although I didn't enjoy the language that much, it didn't stop me to like it. Me kinda likey.

Thank you so much

A heartbreaking and beautiful piece of poetry.
What I really like is that you take the time jumps
So clearly and it shows, in a few lines, so crisp and well.
The symbolism is associated with life and death,
Reaches beyond, goosebumps here! Perfect!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words.

Nice work! Very menacing. The suspense leaving the reader waiting..... with the threat of the wolf who shall meet us again.
Great!:)

[Jack...]

Thanks, this came from my dark side. :)

[Priscilla Sayers]

The dark side can be quite an intriguing place to explore. Everyone has one. To know the light you must know the dark, for without each other the other would never exist, so keep the balance my friend. You do it well:)

[Jack...]

You are so correct.

I like your Shakespearian English, Jack; it gives more depth to this creepy poem.

[Jack...]

Thanks Marie.

Getting inside the dreaded werewolf, as if in an effort to explain its urgings. Well done, if a bit Biblical in its 'thy's' and 'doth'; words I try to avoid like the plague.
I notice you've missed one of WC's little " marks - in verse 4 line 2.

[Jack...]

Thank you sir. I think I have it fixed now.

[KAOlmsted]

WC and its wicked formatting
Won't recognize a double dash
Inserting the dreaded quotation mark
Infecting pieces like a rash

xD Told you I don't do rhyme!

I love the dark, gothy feel to this, Jack...it's so sinister. I've seen wolves...they always make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. When I lived in Alaska, I feared the wolves more than the bears. Really good write, this.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much, I just caught the Qm-dash switch up and fixed it with a single dash. Better'n nothin.

P.S. I think your ryhme was fine

[KAOlmsted]

You can use a double dash if you import from word or your documents just by going through the piece and retyping them...I've never written from scratch in the text box, so I don't know if that works there...I import everything. And you are most welcome. I really enjoy reading you.
