The announcement of the Werefluff Contest inspired my muse to write a poem about young Mitch, although I did not ahve the courage to enter it and it did not really fit the category as Mitch is not allowed to Run Wild Beneath the Moon. (Keep reading Jealous Moon fluff... gratuitous plug). Also this does not quite scan, but I have sent it priavtely to several fiends who have been kind enough to tell me they like it, so here goes: The Wolf Within Silver tears flow from amber eyes; Another full moon rides the skies. The wolf within wakens, yearning For the forest. With eyes burning A young man kneels to plead To a god who cannot heed His prayers. It will come again, The moon-cursed change--the pain Ripping and tearing his limbs at will As the wolf slowly emerges until Nothing else remains. And all too soon The caged beast howls at the unforgiving moon. *sob* Please say you like it! And congratulations to Hemogoblin on her victory.
