MONSTERS MOON

Picture from the 1941 movie "The Wolf Man"

There's a crack in the moon and it is my heart
For this symbol of love has now been torn apart
She and I took a walk in the romantic moonlight
But she seemed far away though I held her tight
The moon's magic didn't work for me like they say
Because before the night was over, she had run away
Soft and sweet my words as I whispered in her ear
With the moonlight on my side, I had nothing to fear
Now she's at home and she didn't kiss me goodnight
She didn't even shake my hand she just ran from fright
Lovers moon they say and how its power never fails
It's really a monsters moon unless you listen to tall tales
She didn't fall in love with me she even thinks me a freak
And we were under the moon's light when it was at full peak
What more can be done to make her fall in love with me
Just because under the moon a Wolfman I turned out to be
Bear

SO I picked this poem first cause of the title , I havent explored the realms of poetry yet I enjoyed reading this piece .You're a great poet Bear :) the first line was a punch - "there's a crack in the moon and it is my heart" omg

[Bear]

Thank you for stopping by, poetry is a story we just use fewer words to tell it :~) I hope I am able to keep you entertained while you travel through the realms of my imagination.

Nice write The picture set the scene like a Hammer movie production which I always enjoyed.

[Bear]

Many of my poems were written as part of a writing challenge where a picture was posted and we had to write a poem to fit the picture, it was a lot of fun when we met in virtual places chat room on Friday night to read and comment on each others poems. Sometimes a reading would last five hours.

[andrew mitchell]

Wow Yes I'm familiar with the contest picture prompts from another site!

[Bear]

The writing challenge I was in was the old poetry circle back in the mid 90's

[andrew mitchell]

Allpoetry site is built around contest prompts either pictures or quotes or based on one liners! Very challenging and exercises the mind!

[Bear]

I guess I should say they were writing challenges written for fun, we had members from 32 different countries so there was good mix of inspiration on the poem turn out. It was a blast but a lot of work to as it was my site and I got to post all the poems for the readings every Friday night

[andrew mitchell]

Wow To find the time, what a buzz!

[AaronFreitas]

Awesome write... I do like the way you leave the breaks for the reader to determine and really read with their own voice and flow. Love the rhyme scheme also my friend... great work :)

[Bear]

Thank you kind sir. From my own reading experiences I have read many stories that were cut in stone, allowing the reader no room for their own interpretation. I we all look at things a little different and take notice of what interest us personally. It is not possible to write something to please everyone but at least my way everyone can read and interpret my poem to their own mind, mood or temperament and just let the words do the talking. Sorry, there I go with the lecturing again, thanks for stopping by :~)

[AaronFreitas]

haha no problem... sometimes it's good to leave room for the reader to feel like they can relate or they can take those words and really feel it in their own way.

[Insight "MH"]

That was lovely, the rhyme was outstanding. What a strange werewolf having these romantic feeling mixed with blood thirst.

[Bear]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was about time something Halloweenish got posted :~)
