Werewolf

Crying wolf is a real danger. David Attenborough

 

I am crying the moon in the air

and feeds the wolf in me

with blood and tears

 

in me awakes the night

 

while the owl is screeching

in my head

and his all seeing eye

is looking my worries

outside

 

It is the wind that is my skin

and the earth my bed

I smell my fear

in the deep of the gray

 

but my dream

is more realistic

then all the colors

of the morning

that is coming for sure.

Rudi, this is BRILLIANT.

To couple your words with the music is extraordinary Your poem is more than fine but to enclose the words within the rhythm and sound of the music is very clever and very effective. Truly, Am truly impressed. You should have the whole put into the public domain! (Perhaps you already do!?)

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you for the awesome comment. I've put in on SoundCloud and a few websites and also my blog, so yes I consider this as public domain. I'm very glad you love it. Really appreciated, Emma. :) Rudi

Vivid imagery you written here Rudi, you enjoy the scary things to write don't you?

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Well, I guess I like it, but I like to write about nature and animals too, I've got so many sorts of poems made during my life, I guess I've written about different things. Thank you for reading and reviewing

[Cherrie Palmer]

wonderful word play I enjoyed this very much.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, Cherrie, glad you liked it. :) Rudi

[Willard Wells]

Very well penned piece. I like the imagery and flow within this work. At the end I had more visions of an owl than a wolf though.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, Willard, for reading an commenting my poem. Glad you liked it. :) Rudi

I love this Rudi. Personally I have always felt, and still do, a stong and intimate bond with the moon.
I guess that has to deal with me being a Cancer.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you very much, Sin in Sincerety. Can relate to that being also a Cancer. :) Rudi

[R Smith]

a poem to compete with the nature of the wolf, very well done, bravo :)

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, Richard, for reading and reviewing. :) Rudi

Brilliant Rudi.
Your words picturized the whole scene really well.
I could almost visualise the scenario.

But it's all about the art whether it's writing, music, or anything else related.

And the artwork is brilliant here.

Thank you so much, Armin. Glad you liked this one too. :) Rudi

The imagery in this write is spectacular and the personification of the werewolf is wonderful. Hearing the words recited to the beat of the music added another dimension for me. Just fantastic. Lydi**

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you so much, Lydia, glad you liked it. Have a good day. :) Rudi

marvelous look at the mind of the werewolf...smelling his own fear of what he might do...knowing his is not a choice...and sometimes what we dream is not what we get to accomplish in life...like the werewolf, who we are is what we are...or vice-versa.

i hear the low growls emanating from this write.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Okay, Jacob, have just read about a siren and a wolf on your page. Really good. :)

[Samaira]

When I read what you write, I can always picture the entire scenario. That is what makes it so amazing for me. I really like "It is the wind that is my skin and the earth my bed". Plus combining the right words with the right music sounds great.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you, for reading and listening to my poem. I'm so glad you liked it. Really appreciated. :) Rudi
