The Creature Underneath

The Creature Underneath

A Poem by Crifa

Underneath its living there,
Underneath it thrives,
Up, straight up, stick my hairs,
Fear is how it survives.

Living off that blue wisp,
Breathing through that cold mist.
Out it comes in that eclipse,
Screaming up with closed fists.

Fur consumes me, covers my sight,
This change can I no longer fight,
Its taking over my body and mind,
Get that silver, the pointy kind.

Plunge it deep within my skin,
Kill this beast that hides within.
Puddle of blood your blade is sheathed,
Down goes the creature underneath.

Was* a werewolf my friend haha.
I really like the second stanza. Those words gave it the first hint that there was a change, but only at a certain time. I had a feeling where you were going, but the first line of stanza 3 confirmed it: a werewolf. But as soon as I had come to the conclusion, I thought maybe It was all symbolism and you were just imitation a beast inside yourself and the "fur" wasn't meant to be taken literally. Then the authors note ruined that reign...
But all in all I thought this was a nice poem, definitely one of your more imagery ones. Nice job:)

We've all got monsters inside of us. I've seen yours man when anyone tries messing with you XD I'd be scared to. To anyone reading this chris broke a gun in half with his head then continued to knock out the kid tht held it to him.

How I would imagine it must feel to have a wolf inside

Great imagery! I guessed about half way through. :)
The poem is well structured and I feel that the first half builds up to the transformation effectively.
