Lupine Moon

by Somber Esprit   Sep 17, 2007


Crunch of snow beneath your paws,
Crunch of bone between your jaws
You march on, throughout the night
Bathed in full moon's silver light

Ivory fangs flash bright and true
Shaggy coat shines steely blue
Frosty breath, soft plumes of mist
A demon army to enlist

Heart-stopping howl splits the air
Senses heightened, steady stare
Glowing eyes transfix your prey
Stunning beast, so fierce and fey

Knife-blade claws, long and thin
Animal instinct strong within
Cover distance in one bound
Scarlet, stains this mighty hound

Night wares on and terror reigns
Bloodlust coursing through your veins
Too soon for you, the dawn draws neigh
A touch of pink graces the sky

Savage hunt concludes at last
With morning sun, full moon has passed
Curled upon the bloodstained snow
True form revealed, for all to know

Gold curls frame an angel's face
Shapely hips and slender waist
Rosy cheeks and softest skin
Clear blue eyes, would never sin

Dreams of horror haunt her sleep
Dreams of carnage make her weep
These images she can't explain
A werewolf's curse brings only pain.

I tried to use rhymes within the stanza's as well as at the end of each line. I also attempted alliteration. I hope it reads ok.
