The Wolves.

A look at oe of my favourite characters - Anne Rices Lestat.

Seated minds always turn on those whole,

My father has hands to whip and blind,

Two brothers seek pillage without fear,

A mother to old and sick to change her mind.

 

A friend of fancy saves Paris and plays solid,

Fancy garments hide tears he sobs at night,

I turn to comfort and kiss and hold close,

Though never for those with a keen telling sight.

 

The wolves gather to mock me in line and forest,

I bash at those near with gavels held high,

A mortal with deeds of running form this village,

Why must we spit on those that tell a dark lie.

 

Goodbye dear reader for your time has truly come,

A moment of men that lived long ago in that,

Pierce now the mind that is clouded with wording,

For that was me then before the Vampire Lestat.

I love Ann Rice's characters. She is suck a skillful writer. I saw her book about werewolves. I really want to buy it but had others on the list to buy first. This is a great write about amazing characters and even if you didn't tell me what it was about it would tell an amazing story.

Ya know sometimes you just want to say "oooooo" that was good? Well I just did.

The wolves gather to mock me in line and forest,
I bash at those near with gavels held high

he sits in judgement of them though he is no less guilty than they are. And wonderful imagery.

This piece is superbly put together. The flow, the tempo, the imagery, the content, it all speaks independently and together at the same time. Very nicely written, I'm glad I found your work; I will be reading more.

I like the many places you took me in the poem. Life would be better if we had more mystery and less roadblocks. Always a pleasure to read your poetry my friend.

Good God, you have made my return to commenting a pleasure. I forgot how well you structured your words, and even more how you create with them. I am not a fan of the vampiric crazy that has occurred, yet this was so much deeper than the bulk of that genre. This is true beauty, every phrase speaking to the whole of the work, but independently strong and well-rounded. Thank you.
